Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP continues to stand out for its breadth of coverage and experience in debt offerings, including teams on both the East and West Coasts. Its prestigious client base delivers a steady stream of top engagements across the debt offerings sphere; investment grade, high-yield and equity-linked offerings, amongst others.

It has also remained at the forefront of high-yield debt for issuers.
