Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

'The depth and experience of Skadden's London investigations and corporate crime team is quite admirable. At the partner, counsel and associate level, the lawyers are well versed in the law and its application but also have a vast range of experience that brings to bear a practical approach. They have been advising us on bleeding-edge sanctions issues and I don't believe we could be better represented.'
