About Richard
Richard Corn earned his J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School in 2002 after completing a B.S. at Ohio State University in 1999. Those academic years framed an early interest in legal practice and set the stage for work in federal and state courts.
He joined the legal profession in the mid-2000s and became a member of the New York State Bar in 2005. Court admissions include the New York bar and the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Those credentials have allowed him to operate in both trial and appellate settings across jurisdictions.
Corn has served in private practice at major law firms. He is listed as a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP. Over time his work has placed him in matters that cross state lines and touch on federal procedure. He has navigated the structures of large firms and their client demands while maintaining a steady presence in courtroom and transactional environments.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in approach. He breaks complicated questions into manageable pieces and then addresses each one in turn. That style serves well in litigation and regulatory matters, where parsing dense record and precedent can determine outcomes. He also brings an analytical lens refined during law school and early practice.
Outside of firm responsibilities, Corn’s bar membership since 2005 ties him to professional networks in New York. He keeps active in those circles and in the professional obligations that flow from state bar membership. His admissions to federal appellate court mean he handles filings and arguments that require attention to appellate standards and briefing conventions.
Richard Corn’s career path has moved from law school to major firm practice, through state bar involvement and federal court admissions. He currently serves as a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and handles matters that arise in New York and in proceedings before the Sixth Circuit.
