– George Zimmerman / Partner, Complex Litigation and Trials (Bio)
“One of the qualities that distinguishes Skadden is our commitment to finding innovative solutions to our clients’ most daunting challenges. The creativity that Tansy brings to her work has made her an integral member of the team since her first day.”
– Boris Bershteyn / Partner, Complex Litigation and Trials; Antitrust/Competition (Bio)
“Tansy and I have had a close friendship for nearly a decade, since she first interviewed with the firm. Although we never worked on a case together, we connect and talk regularly, including at Skadden DEI events, over lunch and at dinners with her husband, and recently at her wedding, which I officiated. Despite the firm’s size, close personal connections are the norm, not the exception. They are what make Skadden and its lawyers exceptional.”
– Stephen Robinson / Retired Partner
“Our Asian affinity networks provide a forum for attorneys of Asian descent — across all offices, practice groups and levels of seniority — to connect and discuss our experiences. The people I’ve met have helped me navigate the challenges that come with working at a law firm. I'm thankful that I’ve been able to do the same for Tansy!”
– Do Kim / Partner, Mergers & Acquisitions (Bio)

What do you enjoy most about working at Skadden?
The people. Our Real Estate Group’s focus goes beyond what most people would expect. We work with attorneys across the firm’s 50-plus practices, advising clients on all types of matters involving real estate in any way. It’s amazing; I have the benefit of both a tight-knit department of colleagues whom I consider friends and the backing and breadth of the global Skadden family, with access to some of the greatest legal minds out there.

Heather has encouraged me to pursue my interests since I was a summer associate. She makes herself available to me for questions — big and small. I try to duplicate her attitude and availability with the associates I now mentor.
