Global law firm serving financial and corporate clients across capital markets and M&A
Davis Polk is a 1,000+ lawyer partnership headquartered in New York with offices across global financial centers. The firm's tech footprint is built on legacy professional-services infrastructure—Microsoft Office, Bloomberg, Refinitiv, Workday—with no active stack modernization underway. Current hiring pressure centers on legal roles and support functions, while pain points cluster around billing efficiency, attorney retention, and new-client acquisition, suggesting operational scaling challenges typical of BigLaw expansion.
