About Us

Carnegie Sterns. Simply the Best.

Revolutionary

Our history not only makes us who we are but also dictates our continued dominance in the global legal markets. Carnegie Sterns.

Global importance from our inception.

1974

August 1974 was an extremely important time in
American history. President Richard Nixon officially
resigned as president and Gerald Ford, the former vice President was sworn in.

The first thing the new president did was to call his then personal attorney, Albert Carnegie, who then
commenced with partner and good friend, Jasper Sterns to form Carnegie Sterns. A global powerhouse already beginning at the top.

Critical involvement in world politics.

1981

January 1981. Iranian militants, part of the Iranian
revolution, had 52 American embassy hostages for 444 days. Ronald Reagan was being sworn in as the next president of the United States. His request to the senior partners of Carnegie Stearns was to find an immediate solution and end the crisis.

Carnegie Sterns, with extreme knowledge in global economies suggested the U.S. freeze Iranian assets.
When this was done then hostages were free, and the
crisis was over.

Negotiating for the largest companies.

1980s & 90s
