The experience gained and impact made at Skadden will create ripple effects that will last your entire career. Let's begin to carve your path.

Widely recognized as one of the world's leading M&A attorneys, Eileen helped us become the first law firm to advise on more than $1 trillion worth of deals in a single year. At Skadden, Eileen shares her knowledge and experience one on one, mentoring countless associates as they work together on their field's most challenging and groundbreaking transactions. She has also passed on the insight gained from her award-winning work in Negotiated Acquisitions of Companies, Subsidiaries and Divisions, a treatise studied in classrooms across the country, and as an adjunct professor, at the University of Virginia School of Law and Cornell Law School.

Prior to joining Skadden, Jocelyn’s career took her from tennis courts in Washington, D.C., where she played against the nation’s top justice, to federal court in New York, where she successfully prosecuted Jamaica’s most notorious drug kingpin.

Jocelyn’s clerkship for the late U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist laid the foundation for her legal career, though many of the most valuable lessons were gleaned in doubles matches with the chief justice and her fellow clerks. As Jocelyn recalls, he was a strong advocate for “work-life balance” long before that became a hot topic. Following her clerkship, Jocelyn held numerous roles at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, including co-chief of the Criminal Division’s Terrorism & International Narcotics Unit. She regularly calls on that prosecutorial experience at Skadden, where she represents companies and individuals in a wide array of criminal and civil enforcement matters.

By the time Christine joined Skadden as a summer associate, she knew she wanted to be a corporate lawyer. Her partner mentor was the head of the Corporate Restructuring practice, and he quickly got her involved in our representation of Citibank in connection with its acquisition of Ameriquest. By the end of the summer, she was hooked on the fast-paced, multidisciplinary and strategic nature of the practice.

Christine’s efforts at Skadden and her involvement in the legal community extend far beyond her flourishing legal practice. Named one of Turnarounds & Workouts’ Outstanding Young Restructuring Lawyers in 2018, Christine also is an active member of the firm’s women’s affinity network and Summer Associate Committee and the junior advisory board of Her Justice , which provides free legal help to women living in poverty in New York City. In addition, Christine teaches debate to middle school students in Harlem, takes on a wide range of pro bono matters and, somehow, still has time for photography and travel. Hawaii is one of Christine’s favorite travel destinations, not only because she has family there, but also because the islands provide an endless source of stunning landscapes to photograph.
