Cleary Gottlieb Wins Chambers Global 2006 “Global Competition/Antitrust Law Firm of the Year” and “Latin American Law Firm of the Year” Awards

Cleary Gottlieb has been named “Global Competition/Antitrust Law Firm of the Year” and “Latin American Law Firm of the Year” by Chambers Global. The awards were presented at a dinner in London on November 16.

The Global Competition/Antitrust award recognizes Cleary Gottlieb for its preeminent practice on both sides of the Atlantic. In the latest edition of the Chambers Global guide to The World’s Leading Lawyers, quoted interviewees said: “Globally, you can’t beat this practice,” and the firm was noted for its competition/antitrust prowess in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and the United States. For the past two years, as well as in 2002, Chambers Global named Cleary Gottlieb “Western Europe Competition/Antitrust Law Firm of the Year.”

This is the inaugural year for the Latin American award. The most recent edition of the guide to The World’s Leading Lawyers calls the firm the “out-and-out leader in Latin America,” with lawyers in New York, Washington and Europe working in the region.
