Who is the “Skadden attorney”?
Best career advice I’ve received
When I made partner, Howard pushed me to focus on the types of deals I was passionate about and to build my practice around them. In addition to Fortune 500 companies, I wanted to handle pre-IPO unicorn rounds and IPOs of the next generation of leading companies. Howard was instrumental in helping me realize that goal.

Graham puts the voices of more junior attorneys ahead of his own, giving them a chance to shine while simultaneously acting as their biggest cheerleader. For me, this exemplifies true leadership.

Raquel (who joined the firm from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) is a huge help with clients who have thorny regulatory issues. I can say, “Don’t worry, let me phone a friend so we can take care of this for you.”

“Our Asian affinity networks provide a forum for attorneys of Asian descent — across all offices, practice groups and levels of seniority — to connect and discuss our experiences. The people I’ve met have helped me navigate the challenges that come with working at a law firm. I'm thankful that I’ve been able to do the same for Tansy!”

“One of the qualities that distinguishes Skadden is our commitment to finding innovative solutions to our clients’ most daunting challenges. The creativity that Tansy brings to her work has made her an integral member of the team since her first day.”

“Tansy and I have had a close friendship for nearly a decade, since she first interviewed with the firm. Although we never worked on a case together, we connect and talk regularly, including at Skadden DEI events, over lunch and at dinners with her husband, and recently at her wedding, which I officiated. Despite the firm’s size, close personal connections are the norm, not the exception. They are what make Skadden and its lawyers exceptional.”
