Finance & Capital Markets (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Skadden has a premium global practice which has built widespread coverage and expertise across regions and areas of law on the foundation of its longstanding, market-leading reputation for US law advice. The firm has strength in depth across UK and European teams in transactional and contentious areas, which makes the firm a leading choice for sophisticated transatlantic matters. It has an excellent presence in key Asian markets, plus a São Paulo office, which also boosts the firm’s global offering. The firm is a dominant force on international M&A, finance and energy transactions. It also regularly navigates clients through cross-border disputes, investigations and arbitration as coordinating counsel.

US teams provide high-end capabilities across capital markets areas and act as a trusted adviser to clients on cross-border ECM and DCM transactions. The firm has a stellar reputation for substantial acquisition financing work, and frequently works with clients throughout the initial financing and, in a corporate context, execution stages. Offering impressive global scope with high-end teams in China and Europe, the bulk of the firm’s resources are in the USA, from where teams regularly coordinate multi-jurisdictional transactions for US and foreign multinationals. Advising on some of the most substantial US inbound investment and outbound projects, the firm counts elite corporates, including major energy, pharmaceutical and technology players, among its clients.
