A World of Opportunity Awaits You

Welcome to Shearman & Sterling. Our core values of excellence, integrity, client focus, teamwork, energy and diversity are present in everything we do.

Excellence

You may find yourself working in New York, Hong Kong or London, helping to close a cross-border merger or collaborating on an international restructuring. We believe there are few places where a lawyer or professional can gain such rich experience across practices, industries and continents.

Community

At Shearman & Sterling, engaging in pro bono work and community service is an essential aspect of the firm. We encourage our lawyers to work together to affect change for those who need it most. Working to address issues around the world, we believe that equal access to justice is vital for a fair society. This is especially critical for indigent individuals and nonprofit organizations with limited resources for legal services.
