• ‘Consistently delivers pragmatic, commercially astute advice, even on highly complex legal matters. What truly sets them apart is their ability to understand our business and tailor their guidance accordingly. Their legal expertise is matched by a clear grasp of the commercial realities we face, making their support both practical and strategically valuable. We view them not just as legal advisors, but as trusted partners in our decision-making.’

• 'They are the best of the best we work with. What makes this Skadden team unique is their bench strength from top to bottom. Excellent technical lawyers who are across the whole transaction and able to navigate complex issues in a pragmatic and sensible way. They are team players who are easy to work with. They know how to get a deal done and they do it in an approachable way. We routinely work with Skadden on complex and high value cross-border transactions. When we are not instructed by Skadden we will often see them on the opposite side of the deal. They are one of the most visible and active firms for complex and high value cross-border M&A and equity capital markets transactions.'

What makes Danny stand out from his peers is his deal instinct and judgment - he inspires confidence. Maria Protopapa is a standout senior member of the team.
