 PROFILE
Founded in 1849, Davis Polk & Wardwell is one of the oldest law firms in the US. Having built a notable corporate practice early on, it helped J. P. Morgan (now J.P. Morgan Chase) form General Electric. With some 630 lawyers, the firm is known for its skill in litigation, securities, and mergers and acquisitions; other practice areas include real estate, tax, and technology. Davis Polk serves such high-profile clients as AT&T (it was involved in the record-breaking stock offering of AT&T's wireless unit in 2000), Comcast, EMI Group, RJR Nabisco, and Philip Morris. In addition, more than one-third of the firm's clients are non-US companies or governments. Davis Polk has eight offices in six countries.
