Crane leads Sills Cummis & Gross, one of the largest law firms in New Jersey. He joined Sills in 1984, giving him a deep understanding of the internal workings of the firm and of its client base.

As the firm’s leader, he allows attorneys with different talents to focus on what they’re good at – rather than on what the firm wants them to be good at – thus allowing many under him to flourish.

This past year has been one of the most profitable in the firm’s 50-year history, with profits per partner increasing more than 20% over last year.

According to the firm, Crane works with clients in the banking, energy, gaming, insurance and retail industries, among others. He has been involved in equity and debt financings and energy projects valued at more than $1 billion. These transactions have included initial public offerings, debt restructurings, conventional financings and the sale of equity in existing power projects.
