Cravath is taking its talents to Hudson Yards. Like Milbank, Boies Shiller, Cooley, Debevoise, Crowell & Moring, Ashurst, and Skadden before them, the Biglaw standard bearer is taking advantage of the revitalization of the newly trendy Hudson Yards to create bespoke, state of the art offices. As of this week, the renovations are complete, and the excitement for the new digs is building.

“We are excited to mark this new chapter of Cravath’s third century in New York with our move to Two Manhattan West,” said Faiza J. Saeed, Cravath’s Presiding Partner. “We look forward to serving our clients from this extraordinary space and thriving new district of Manhattan.”

So what does the joint actually look like? Zillow is no help when trying to be nosy about corporate cribs, so we went to the  source to see what it’s like. Besides the partner office with an absolutely iconic view above, there are some great shots to give Above the Law readers a peek into what life at the firm’s new offices will be like. From the photos, it’s clear the amenities are top notch — and they have to be to get a generation that’s gotten used to working from home jazzed about coming to the office.

First up is one of the common areas that dot several floors that provide a cozy — and collaborative — work space.

There’s a dining area off of the cafeteria.

We have a couple of shots of Cravath’s On Tap Beverage Bar — sure to be a favorite.

What Biglaw firm is complete without a grand staircase — this one leads down from Cravath’s 37th floor reception.

The firm retains some old school charm with a gorgeous library.

And as a new mom who has had to pump in some truly questionable spaces, this stunner of a lactation room is a personal fav.

Hope Cravathies enjoy the new space — and may the hours you bill there be plentiful.
