Seven wins in five days. That was the impressive tally last week for litigators at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, who chalked up victories in three securities fraud cases, two antitrust fights, one personal injury class action and one non-compete agreement challenge.
Defending against securities class actions is something of a sweet spot for Skadden. Per Lex Machina statistics, the firm was the No. 1 choice as counsel for nationwide federal securities cases filed in 2019. Of the 2,009 cases filed last year, Skadden was tapped as defense counsel in 65 of them. The firm also served as plaintiffs counsel in one case and as counsel to third parties in four more.
