Cravath partner and Co‑Head of the Firm’s Private Equity Practice David J. Perkins was the featured guest on the December 5, 2024 episode of The Deal’s “Drinks With The Deal” podcast. In the interview, Dave spoke about his education at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and described the series of decisions and events that led him into corporate law. Dave reflected on his time as a young associate at Cravath, praising the Firm’s rotation system which gave him exposure to the full suite of corporate legal practice, and how during that time he was called up from the U.S. Army Reserve to serve in Afghanistan—a formative experience for his life and career. Dave also discussed his later joining of Cravath’s partnership and his approach to building the Firm’s growing private equity practice.
