Elite law firm modernizing legal ops with cloud and automation
Cravath is a 200-year-old AmLaw firm scaling its internal tech infrastructure—adopting Intune, Windows Hello, and LAPS while migrating to cloud and Azure. The hiring velocity signals active modernization: engineering roles (3 open) paired with ops and legal staff roles suggest a push toward endpoint modernization and AI-driven platform capabilities. Pain points around attorney onboarding, secondment coordination, and partner assignment workflows indicate process automation is a near-term priority.
Cravath operates as a partnership-based law firm with 1,000–5,000 employees, headquartered in New York. The firm's core practice areas span corporate, litigation, tax, executive compensation, and trusts and estates. Internally, the firm is executing cloud migration and endpoint modernization initiatives while introducing new talent programs (foreign associate and part-time tracks) and developing AI-driven tools to streamline partner assignment and proposal workflows.
Cravath runs a Microsoft-centric enterprise setup: Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint Online, Azure, Intune, and GitHub Copilot for development. Legal-specific tools include iManage, Litera Compare, and ABBYY for document processing. Active adoption of Windows Hello and LAPS signals modernized identity and endpoint security.
Active projects include foreign associate and part-time programs (talent acquisition), endpoint modernization, cloud governance, AI-driven platform capabilities, flow designer automation, and improvements to the associate review and partner assignment processes.
