Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP

New York, NY·6 offices

Firm Overview

Fried Frank has built one of the most respected M&A and real estate practices in BigLaw, with particular strength in New York real estate transactions and a highly competitive M&A practice that handles major public and private deals. The firm occupies a distinctive position — elite-tier work with a tighter, more focused culture than some larger rivals.

Associate Experience

Fried Frank associates gain access to sophisticated M&A and real estate work from early in their careers. The firm's size — smaller than most elite peers — means partner access is genuinely better and associates are less likely to be lost in a large group.

Lateral Recruiting Context

Fried Frank recruits selectively for M&A, real estate, and PE practitioners. The firm is a particularly strong destination for laterals with New York real estate transaction experience.
