Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz is an American law firm in New York City, considered to be the top firm in the United States for major mergers and acquisitions. While many peer law firms have grown and become international brands, Wachtell has only a single, Manhattan office. It is one of the smallest firms in the AmLaw 100, but has the second highest per partner profits of any law firm and pays significantly above the "Cravath scale" market rate for associates. The firm pays its partners through a lockstep system, meaning that compensation is tied to firm seniority, rather than hours billed or business brought in. The same is true for associate bonuses. This compensation model has led to the firm being called the "last true partnership."
