What do Michael Bloomberg, Donald Trump, and David Bowie have in common? They have all been clients of Willkie Farr & Gallagher. The law firm specializes in mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcy, and intellectual property. Founded in 1889 in New York, the name of Willkie is that of Wendell Willkie, the 1940 Republican presidential candidate who was defeated by President Franklin Roosevelt. With more than 400 attorneys (including former New York governor Mario Cuomo), Willkie Farr was part of the team that represented AT&T in gaining FCC approval for the acquisition of MediaOne Group. The firm also represented Nextlink Communications (now XO Communications) in its merger with Concentric Network.
