Skadden Arps SURVEY SAYS


Vault’s Verdict: Challenging work, a strong firm culture and top-of-the-market pay play a big part in associate and trainee satisfaction. Other assets include a genuine dedication to pro bono and diversity. And if the hours are long on occasion, few Skadden insiders complain, since there’s no expectation of “face time”.

What Solicitors & Trainees Say

•  “Challenging work; good variety; lots of exposure; decent client contact.” – Associate

•  “The job has more than lived up to my expectations and, even just two months in, I am receiving fantastic work to do from a mix of both public and private deals. And, although I am given a lot of responsibility, I know that I have a strong network of support around me in case I need help or guidance.” – Trainee
