As a leader in mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions, we have represented many of the world’s largest companies, including approximately 50 percent of the Fortune 250, in their most high-profile deals.

The broad diversification of the firm’s work in more than 50 practice areas enables us to provide our clients with coordinated legal advice in multiple areas of the law, including those involving litigation and regulatory issues. Among the world’s top law firms, we have one of the largest, most experienced teams of transactional lawyers, whose capabilities enable us to handle the numerous issues that can arise in a single corporate transaction.

Skadden provides advice in a full spectrum of corporate transactional and other matters, including mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, corporate governance, restructurings and private equity investments. We also counsel clients regarding a variety of other matters such as securities law compliance, directorial duties, tax-favored investments and market listing/FINRA advice.

The depth and scope of Skadden’s practice has been reflected over the years in numerous surveys of the legal industry. The firm routinely tops league tables in a variety of corporate practice areas, including M&A, corporate restructuring, corporate finance and project finance. We received the 2023 Chambers USA award for US Corporate M&A Law Firm of the Year. Skadden has been named the top corporate law firm in the United States in Corporate Board Member magazine’s annual survey of America’s Best Corporate Law Firms more than any other law firm. The survey asked directors of publicly traded companies to select “a firm they would most likely turn to for corporate legal matters.”
