==History==
In 1792, attorney John Wells, a [[Princeton University|Princeton]] graduate who was one of approximately 80 lawyers in New York City at the time, founded the law firm that ultimately became known as Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft.<ref name="Moody92">{{cite news |title=Venerable law firm looks back 200 years |last1=Moody |first1=Sid |last2= |first2= |url=http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19920927&slug=1515325 |agency=[[The Associated Press]] |date=27 September 1992 |accessdate=21 July 2015}}</ref> The firm became a partnership called Wells & Strong<ref name="Swaine12">{{cite book |last=Swain |first=Robert T. |date=2012 |title=The Cravath Firm and Its Predecessors, 1819-1947, Volume 1 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=p8jmmSwD9KEC&pg=PA7&lpg=PA7&dq=%22wells+%26+strong%22+cadwalader&source=bl&ots=Wxk7I0BXlc&sig=G0_XdlBBi00yLNyIFj7cQUFJ-PM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDcQ6AEwBWoVChMIzoimxvjOyAIVRjc-Ch3jog3q#v=onepage&q=%22wells%20%26%20strong%22%20cadwalader&f=false |location= |publisher=The Lawbook Exchange |page=7 |isbn=9781584777137}}</ref> in 1818 when George Washington Strong joined Wells' practice.<ref name="Moody92"/>

===Corporate law and civic responsibility===

George Washington Strong established the first Bank for Savings for the City of New York in 1816.  Shipping, transportation and real estate matters handled on behalf of John Jacob Astor involved Strong in the legal work necessary to establish New York City’s first public library in 1849. If you follow Cadwalader's historical thread, you will find your way to John Cadwalader, who orchestrated the legal work necessary to establish The New York Public Library.

As an attorney for Philip Schuyler, George Templeton Strong provided legal assistance to Elizabeth (Eliza) Schuyler Hamilton in establishing the Orphan Asylum Society. In 1848, the firm established the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor and advised The Association for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.  In 1861, George T. Strong established the United States Sanitary Committee, a forerunner to the American Red Cross, which raised more than $5 million for Union soldiers in need of medical care.  Strong’s cousin and law partner Charles went on to oversee the establishment of the New York Medical College & Hospital for Women and Children.

George T. Strong assisted with the development of Columbia Law in 1858, and, in 1870, George T. Strong and John Cadwalader were Charter Members of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York – which grew into the ABA in 1878. Joined by George Wickersham, who would become U.S. Attorney General in 1909, and Henry Taft, the law firm that would become Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft always believed that it would be dedicated to corporate law and civic duty.  Cadwalader also named the first female partner to what is considered to be a “Wall Street Law Firm.”

In 1921, George Wickersham became a founder and Chairman of the Board of the Council on Foreign Relations.  It was 1921 that also saw the establishment of the relationship between Cadwalader and The Salvation Army, a business and service relationship that continues to this day.  In the 1960s, the firm represented Margaret Sanger, the founder of the birth control movement, and her Margaret Sanger Research Bureau, which merged with Planned Parenthood in 1973.

[[George W. Wickersham]], an antitrust lawyer, joined the firm in 1883<ref name="Yale00"/> and made partner in 1887.<ref name="Moody92"/> Wickersham was named [[United States Attorney General|U.S. Attorney General]] under [[William Howard Taft|President William Howard Taft]].<ref name="Moody92"/> [[Henry W.
