Skadden was mentioned more times than any other law firm hired by companies for corporate transactions and received the most overall mentions in the areas of commercial law and contracts litigation, corporate transactions, labor and employment litigation, and intellectual property in Corporate Counsel magazine's "Who Represents America's Biggest Companies" survey (September 2007). The magazine says Skadden "takes the cake" when it comes representing corporate America. Based on the magazine's research of public records, Skadden has ranked first or second on the corporate transactions list in each year it has been published; prior to this year results were based on surveys of general counsel at the Fortune 250.
