Your Career

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Cahill Advantage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At Cahill, the&#160;cornerstone of career development is “responsibility when ready.” Associates earn substantive roles as soon as they demonstrate ability and commitment and are afforded the opportunity to seek out the kinds of assignments and teams that best meet their preferences and goals. There is no arbitrary or sequential system to hold them back.&#160; When associates show the necessary skill, judgment and work ethic, they are given a level of responsibility that exceeds what is afforded associates at most other firms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cahill.com/careers/associate-life/training-development&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Training and Development&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Close interaction between clients, partners, and associates fosters strong connections and accelerated career development for our associates and a strong community of lawyers. Cahill Academy represents the multi-layered, coordinated and comprehensive approach that we have implemented to train and develop our lawyers. This approach includes the following elements:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Cahill Academy&lt;/u&gt;: Our Education and Training Committee has structured timely and specialized training, designed to help you develop a solid foundation of substantive skills and know-how and professional practice competencies, as well as engage you in the culture and life of the firm and aid you in forming a strong professional network. In partnership with our Professional Development Committee, Cahill Academy also offers associates one-on-one coaching opportunities, career development seminars and leadership exercises led by a certified executive career coach.&#160;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Unrivaled On-the-Job Experience&lt;/u&gt;: You will build on the knowledge you learn from the formal programs by working closely on client matters with more senior Cahill lawyers. We do not limit the opportunities available to our lawyers based on their seniority; we encourage our associates to push themselves beyond their comfort zone to supercharge their professional growth.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Formal Mentoring by a Dedicated Partner Mentor&lt;/u&gt;: We offer a formal mentoring program, coordinated by our Professional Development Committee, structured to provide customized support to you and thoughtful career advice from partners and more senior associates.&#160;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Individualized Feedback Based on 360&#186; Evaluations&lt;/u&gt;: We solicit performance evaluations, using objective metrics, from all attorneys who have worked with you during each review period.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cahill.com/pro-bono&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pro Bono&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our lawyers are encouraged to work on pro bono matters that support the causes they care about most, and through our various pro bono initiatives, including many that leverage our long-standing relationships with premier public service organizations, Cahill’s pro bono practice offers a wide array of opportunities to have an impact. These initiatives include Cahill Pro Bono for the Arts, The Door, SDNY Criminal Justice Act Panel, Legal Aid Society, Sanctuary for Families, Veterans’ New Business Initiative and Know Your Rights.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Behind the Headlines&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0in; line-height: 18.0pt; background: white;&quot;&gt;Cahill’s work routinely earns awards and high rankings throughout the world.

Cahill’s litigation practice is also top-ranked by&#160;&lt;em&gt;The Legal 500&lt;/em&gt;&#160;and&#160;&lt;em&gt;Benchmark Litigation&lt;/em&gt;&#160;and has been named a &quot;Go-To&quot; firm by&#160;&lt;em&gt;Corporate Counsel&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0in; line-height: 18.0pt; background: white;&quot;&gt;In 2024, Cahill successfully represented Binance, its Bifinity UAB unit, and several individuals in winning dismissal of a proposed securities fraud class action by investors of Eqonex Limited arising from Bifinity’s failed merger with Eqonex.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0in; line-height: 18.0pt; background: white;&quot;&gt;In 2024, a Cahill litigation team prevailed on behalf of Deutsche Bank AG in securing a unanimous decision from the Connecticut Supreme Court, which overturned a ruling by the Connecticut Appellate Court that had dismissed Deutsche Bank’s claims against Alexander Vik and Caroline Vik as part of a sprawling, decade-long legal battle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0in; line-height: 18.0pt; background: white;&quot;&gt;In 2024, Cahill obtained a supplemental preliminary injunction on behalf of Microsoft in connection with its continuing efforts to disrupt a global cybercrime scheme that has caused substantial harm to Microsoft, its customers, other technology companies, and the public at large. The case was brought against three defendants in Vietnam who had used bots to extract CAPTCHA-defeating tokens from Microsoft’s security systems to create hundreds of millions of fraudulent Microsoft email accounts, which were in turn been used to perpetrate ransomware attacks and other forms of cybercrime around the world. In violation of the court’s initial preliminary injunction, the defendants reconstituted their unlawful marketplace at a new Internet domain, which Microsoft also seized pursuant to a court order secured by Cahill, continuing its fight against these bad actors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0in; line-height: 18.0pt; background: white;&quot;&gt;In 2022, Cahill&#160;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https://www.cahill.com/news/firm-news/2022-10-20-cahill-prevails-on-behalf-of-credit-suisse-in-foreign-exchange-markets-class-action&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;secured a complete victory&lt;/a&gt;&#160;on behalf of Credit Suisse after an eight-day jury trial in the Southern District of New York. The case was filed in 2013 by a class of plaintiffs, who sued 16 of the largest Wall Street banks, alleging that they had conspired to violate the federal antitrust laws by fixing prices in the $5 trillion-per-day foreign exchange currency market. This precedent-setting win earned Cahill’s trial team recognition as&#160;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https://www.cahill.com/news/rankings/2022-11-01-cahill-trial-team-recognized-as-litigators-of-the-week-by-the-american-lawyer/_res/id=attachments/index=0/amlaw10282022560221cahill.pdf&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Litigators of the Week by&#160;&lt;em&gt;The American Lawyer.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0in; line-height: 18.0pt; background: white;&quot;&gt;Throughout the firm’s history, Cahill lawyers have appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court in landmark cases, including:&#160;&lt;em&gt;NBC&lt;/em&gt;&#160;v.&#160;&lt;em&gt;United States,&lt;/em&gt;&#160;which helped to establish the authority of the Federal Communications Commission;&#160;&lt;em&gt;Times-Picayune&lt;/em&gt;&#160;v.&#160;&lt;em&gt;United States&lt;/em&gt;, which is among the Court’s seminal antitrust tying rulings; United&lt;em&gt;&#160;States&lt;/em&gt;&#160;v.&#160;&lt;em&gt;Grinnell Corp&lt;/em&gt;., which addressed monopolization and The New York Times in&#160;&lt;em&gt;New York Times Co.&lt;/em&gt;&#160;v&lt;em&gt;.
