PROFILE |
 |
Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz may not be the biggest law firm around, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in might. Known for its finesse in mergers and acquisitions, the firm invented the so-called "poison pill defense" during the 1980s to foil hostile takeovers. Working both sides of the mergers and acquisitions game, Wachtell has represented blue-chip clients such as AT&T (in its acquisition of MediaOne), Amoco (in its merger with British Petroleum), and BankBoston (in its merger with Fleet Financial). Its 160 attorneys also practice in areas such as antitrust, creditor's rights, real estate, and tax. Herbert Wachtell, Martin Lipton, Leonard Rosen, and George Katz founded the firm in 1965.
