Firm recruits leading private equity lawyers
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP has announced that leading private equity lawyers Richard Youle and Katja Butler will join the firm's European private equity practice as partners in London.
Richard and Katja will add a significant dimension to Skadden's global private equity and corporate platforms.

Pranav Trivedi, head of Skadden's London office, said: ‘Richard and Katja will assume fundamental roles in driving our private equity practice forward, working with other members of our PE team and our M&A, capital markets, investment management, real estate, banking and tax lawyers.’
Scott V. Simpson, Skadden's co-head of global transactions, said: ‘This is a very exciting move for the firm. Richard and Katja will greatly enhance our ability to advise on high-end PE work in London and across Europe, complementing our broader corporate capabilities globally.’
