Faiza Saeed Honored with The Jewish Theological Seminary’s 2021 Judge Simon H. Rifkind Award

On April 14, 2021, Cravath partner Faiza J. Saeed received the “Judge Simon H. Rifkind Award” from The Jewish Theological Seminary during a virtual luncheon. The award, named in honor of the late Judge Rifkind, is given annually in celebration of his exemplary life, which was marked by professional preeminence, distinguished public service and unstinting devotion to the Jewish community. Faiza’s honor coincides with the 25th anniversary of the award, and was presented in recognition of her leadership of Cravath and her work as a renowned M&A advisor. Faiza is the second Cravath partner to receive the award in its 25‑year history, as partner Evan R. Chesler, who introduced Faiza’s award during the virtual program, was honored in 2012.
