Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Affiliates delivers the highest quality advice and novel solutions to legal challenges, enabling clients to achieve their business goals. We are known for the innovative and creative thinking we rely on to handle the most complex transactions, litigation/controversy issues, and regulatory matters, as well as the open, collaborative relationships we build with clients, including corporations; financial and governmental entities; small, entrepreneurial companies; and cultural, educational and charitable institutions.

Our attorneys, who reflect a broad range of experiences and perspectives, collaborate seamlessly across our 21 offices in the world’s major financial centers.

The quality of our work and dedication to helping clients accomplish their objectives are continuously reflected in legal industry surveys. We routinely rank among the top firms in transactional practice areas, including M&A, capital markets, corporate restructuring, project finance and real estate; and we are widely recognized as a “go to” firm in the litigation/controversy areas of securities class actions, government enforcement and white collar crime, international arbitration, antitrust, mass torts and intellectual property. Our top-tier regulatory practice, including many attorneys with government experience, encompasses diverse areas, such as tax, competition, energy, executive compensation and benefits, financial regulation, national security, political law, and trusts and estates. Additionally, many of our individual partners are widely acknowledged around the world as leaders in their fields.

Skadden emphasizes a dedication to excellent client service and the highest ethical standards across a platform that fosters collaboration, creativity and efficiency in all that we do. Our effort on behalf of clients is matched by our commitment to public service, which is a core element of life at the firm. Skadden’s dedication to pro bono work is a core aspect of our culture. Our founders believed not only in a lawyer’s social and civic responsibilities, but that we all benefit when the legal system is accessible to everyone. Those views continue to thrive at Skadden, where we are a charter signatory of Pro Bono Institute’s Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge.
