It’s slightly difficult to characterize Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom’s litigation practice—and that’s a good thing. Showing versatility and a zest for trial work, in the past two years Skadden litigators notched a diverse range of victories in forums all over the United States and the world. Some of the largest companies in the world—and some not quite as large—turned to Skadden to handle matters of the highest priority to their business strategy, and sometimes their survival.

On behalf of ZeniMax Media, a team led by partners P. Anthony Sammi and Kurt Hemr fought Facebook Inc. over rights to virtual reality technology, and won a $500 million jury verdict with co-counsel Haynes and Boone. When Skadden partners Allen Ruby and Jack DiCanio and co-counsel Arguedas Cassman & Headley defended FedEx Corp. against criminal drug trafficking charges—for allegedly conspiring with pharmacies that shipped illegally prescribed medication—the government dropped the case in midtrial. Skadden litigators won a $1.2 billion arbitration award for Japan’s NTT Docomo Inc. against India’s Tata Sons Ltd.; helped Crédit Agricole CIB avoid a criminal plea in settling charges that the bank had violated U.S. sanctions against Sudan, Iran and Cuba; and got a rare reversal of FIFA’s suspension of a soccer association official.
