Financial and corporate

Founded in 1792, Cadwalader is one of the oldest law firms in America and the oldest continuing Wall Street practice in the nation. Following its first office in New York, the firm has expanded to two national offices in Washington DC and Charlotte and international offices in London and Dublin. Though it has experience in a wide variety of financial and corporate practice areas, Cadwalader is nationally recognized for its outstanding work in structured finance and securitization, largely led by the New York team. The New York team also does well in the M&A space. In M&A, the firm works on take-private acquisitions, tender offers and other cross-border acquisitions on the buyer and seller sides.
