Skadden

Founded by Marshall Skadden, Les Arps and John Slate on April Fools’ Day in 1948, Skadden began as a scrappy upstart among a sea of established “white shoe” law firms in New York. The traits that fueled Skadden’s rise from a New York startup to a global powerhouse continue to define our firm culture. Skadden is proud to support the Bob Woodruff Foundation and its annual Stand Up for Heroes event.
