Debevoise & Plimpton
 PROFILE
With clients like the Democratic National Committee, Debevoise & Plimpton has plenty of work to go around. The international law firm has about 440 lawyers in two US and four international offices. More than half of the firm's attorneys devote their time to corporate law, the firm's largest practice area, but its expertise also spans litigation, tax, and trusts and estates. High-profile clients include American Airlines, MTV, the NFL and NHL, and The New York Times. Eli Debevoise (a descendant of Eli Whitney) and William Stevenson founded the firm in 1931. After Francis Plimpton (father of author George Plimpton) joined the firm in 1933, its name was eventually changed to Debevoise & Plimpton.
