Founded in 1830, Curtis is one of the longest established international law firms. With headquarters in New York City, Curtis has approximately 260 lawyers operating out of 19 offices located across the globe.

For nearly 200 years Curtis has been advising clients on their most significant and strategic matters. The firm’s pioneering approach is reflected in its diverse international client base, which includes governments and state-owned entities, multinational companies, financial institutions, public and private businesses, entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals.

Curtis recruits lawyers with outstanding academic records from top law schools. Many of these are linguists, often from non-traditional backgrounds. In the development of its international network, the firm’s approach has been to hire the best local lawyers to work alongside Curtis partners.

Curtis has a reputation for excellence in international legal practice and an international outlook that is unusual for an “establishment” New York firm. In 2019, the firm was ranked the third most diverse law firm by the American Lawyer, reflecting the international outlook and cultural diversity that is its hallmark.
