The firm is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious firms (in New York〔http://www.vault.com/company-rankings/law/best-law-firms-in-each-us-region/?sRankID=9〕 and globally〔http://www.vault.com/company-rankings/law/vault-law-100〕), and ranks among the most elite〔http://www.chambersandpartners.com/usa/firm/3835/debevoise-plimpton〕 and successful firms globally.〔http://www.americanlawyer.com/id=1202571228982/The-2012-Global-100-Most-Revenue〕 Founded in 1931 by Harvard alumnus Eli Whitney Debevoise and Oxford-trained William Stevenson, Debevoise has been a long established leader in strategic and private equity, M&A, insurance and financial services transactions, private funds, complex litigation/investigations and international arbitration.
