Who is the “Skadden attorney”?

Someone who checks all of the expected boxes: smart and hard-working; a team player with strong ethics. Equally important, someone who understands that being a good lawyer isn’t just knowing rules and procedures — it’s also providing strategic advice that helps position clients for success. Unpacking complex laws and systems in a way that distills complicated concepts to facilitate better-informed decisions. Using EQ as much as IQ to solve problems.

Best career advice I’ve received

To carve my own path — whether as a junior associate or as a partner. There are so many types of matters to work on at Skadden — it’s up to each of us to figure out our areas of interest and a career direction. That process begins on day one at the firm, and it never stops.
Skadden has been named the top corporate law firm in the U.S. in Corporate Board Member magazine’s annual survey of America’s Best Corporate Law Firms more than any other firm.

Partner, Real Estate (Bio)

What do you enjoy most about working at Skadden?

The people. Our Real Estate Group’s focus goes beyond what most people would expect. We work with attorneys across the firm’s 50-plus practices, advising clients on all types of matters involving real estate in any way. It’s amazing; I have the benefit of both a tight-knit department of colleagues whom I consider friends and the backing and breadth of the global Skadden family, with access to some of the greatest legal minds out there.

Best career advice I’ve received

Pursue my dream and don’t give up. A career in law can be very rewarding: On great days, I’m closing deals that appear on the front page of The Wall Street Journal and thinking, “I made it!” But this profession is demanding, and sticking to it is essential. The best advice I’ve received is to stay centered and focus on my goals — the biggest rewards usually require overcoming tough challenges.
We have been recognized repeatedly in the Financial Times’ North America Innovative Lawyers report.

Partner, Investment Management (BIO)

How have you “carved your path” at Skadden?

As I grew more senior, I discussed with several partners the direction they thought our investment management practice was headed and the opportunities that could potentially create for me. They identified private investment funds as a key growth area for both our team and me individually. That insight and advice proved prescient — it helped me distinguish myself with clients and “build my book.”

Why start a career at Skadden?

The training and opportunities I received as a summer associate confirmed that Skadden would be the ideal place for me to begin my career. I was looking for the opportunity to learn from top attorneys, meet excellent clients and work on interesting and complex transactions. And that’s what I got, beginning on day one. Everyone was genuinely invested in my development and success, which remains true to this day.
