"I am frequently challenged by the question, 'What type of person does Skadden hire?' The truth is, we hire a diverse group of lawyers with a wide range of backgrounds and interests. The common thread – Skadden attorneys represent the sharpest minds from more than 200 law schools around the world and they possess a singular dedication to being the very best at what they do. In order to successfully handle the toughest, most complex matters the business world has to offer, we have created a team comprised of the best talent available.

We hope you'll take the time to experience Skadden for yourself. Ask our former Summer Associates and, if possible, fellow alumni from your law school who are at Skadden about their experiences here. I also encourage all law students visiting our site to take a moment to share some information, confidentially, about yourself, so we can match you up with the people here who can best discuss your areas of interest. If there are any questions I can answer or if there is anything I can do to help, please feel free to e-mail me at hellin@skadden.com I look forward to hearing from you soon."
