Sullivan & Cromwell (S&C) has strategically aligned with OpenAI to enhance its technological capabilities and attract top-tier tech talent. This collaboration has led to the development of the “Agreement Analyzer,” a custom application that integrates S&C’s workflows with OpenAI’s ChatGPT Enterprise. The tool assists lawyers in analyzing various agreements by leveraging S&C’s precedents and negotiating playbooks, thereby streamlining the identification of issues and preparation of comments to support negotiations. The application was unveiled at the OpenAI for Law Summit held in New York on September 17, 2026.

In addition to this technological advancement, S&C has bolstered its expertise in the tech sector by recruiting prominent dealmakers. In May 2024, the firm hired Mike Ringler and Peter Jones from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. Both attorneys have extensive experience in high-profile technology transactions, including advising Elon Musk on his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter.
