‘I'll keep it short. We brought Skadden in after having tried to work with another law firm to solve an issue. The Skadden team came in and took a very pragmatic and clever view of how they could get answers for us.'
‘The primary partner I worked with was Ryan Junck. Regardless of being one of the most senior people in the company, and despite being a relatively new client, we received *outstanding* attention and service from Ryan. No case of handing it off to junior colleagues, he stayed on top of the work and made sure we got top-notch service throughout.'
‘Andrew Good is a super star; diligent and effective.’
‘Incredible responsiveness and professionalism, high professionalism and genuine interest in understanding the client's business.’
