Though relatively newly formed for an international law firm (founded in 1979), Crowell & Morning (C&M) has made its mark on the map. C&M is known for its work in antitrust, litigation, and government contracts, but the firm also offers expertise in more than 40 other areas including employee benefits, tax, and white collar defense. The firm has almost 500 lawyers practicing law through offices in the US and Europe. Through its association with other law firms, C&M advises clients on transactions, disputes, compliance, and other legal issues in the Middle East and North Africa.
