With the loss of partners David Hepp and Matthew Collin last Thursday to Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, the departures of senior personnel continue to mount at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. 

According to data from the London Stock Exchange Group, the firm was No. 1 in global M&A in the first half of 2024. The firm was announced as No. 6 on the 2024 A-List rankings from The American Lawyer earlier this week. Industry experts agree that the firm’s M&A name brand is still powerful.
