It has been an incredible privilege to serve as a member of the federal judiciary and to have served our justice system. I am thrilled to be coming home to begin the next phase of my career at Cravath, where I was trained and will have the opportunity to continue making a difference in the courtroom alongside a tremendous team.

— Judge Katherine Forrest, formerly of the Southern District of New York, commenting on her return to Cravath after her unexpected retirement from the bench after having worked as a federal jurist for just seven years. Faiza Saeed, Cravath’s presiding partner, said, “Having practiced with Katherine for nearly two decades at the firm, we are delighted to welcome her back to Cravath.”
