SKADDEN ARPS Slate Meagher & Flom’s capital
markets and M&A-focused London office saw the
return of big-ticket corporate deals in 2005.
Highlights included acting for Arcelor in its
defence of the $22.8bn (£12.22bn) hostile takeover
bid by Mittal Steel; Sonaecom in its €1.1bn
(£750m) unsolicited offer for Portugal Telecom;
and Banco Commercial Português in its proposed
$5.2bn (£2.97bn) unsolicited acquisition of
Banco BPI.
The firm’s lateral hiring spree in London during the
year was also reflected in its 10 per cent growth in
turnover to $81.9m (£46.8m). Major hires included
private equity star Adrian Knight from Shearman &
Sterling, leveraged finance specialist Clive Wells
from Allen & Overy and tax partner James Anderson
from Clifford Chance.
Skadden is an all-equity partnership operating on
a modified lockstep.
