ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
THE SCOOP
Fourteen New York attorneys—including the late Arthur Kramer, brother of playwright Larry Kramer—teamed up to start Kramer Levin in 1968. The city was already well-stocked with law firms, many of them dating back to the 1800s, so Kramer Levin set out to distinguish itself on the basis of its skill, not the depth of its roots.
Breaking Through in NYC
From the start, Kramer Levin was positioned as a full-service firm that didn't rely on a single hallmark practice or longstanding relationship with one major client.
