Cromwell, William N (Nelson) (1854–1948)

US lawyer. Specializing in business law, he consolidated 16 concerns into the National Tube Company, concluded the battle over the Illinois Central Railroad, promoted the Panama Canal, and established the ‘Cromwell plan’, allowing insolvent firms to continue operations.

He was born in Brooklyn, New York. He joined the New York law firm of Algernon S Sullivan after completing law school, becoming a partner in 1879. As Sullivan and Cromwell, it soon became one of New York's most successful firms. After World War I, he devoted himself to charitable causes and he left his large estate to legal and other philanthropies.
