History
The Simpson Thacher law firm was founded
in 1884. At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20 centuries,
the Firm was active in railroad reorganizations, the creation
of mining and natural resource companies and the national expansion
of the public utility system.
After World War I Simpson Thacher's practice expanded internationally.
By the 1920's, the Firm represented clients in Africa, Asia,
the Caribbean, Europe and South America.
