SKADDEN ARPS

Contributors who listed SKADDEN ARPS on federal itemized receipts account for $5,342,997, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 9,062 contributions from 488 donors. SKADDEN ARPS is a two-name form without an ampersand as stored, not a NAICS legal-services total, not the firm’s PAC, and not the longer SKADDEN ARPS SLATE MEAGHER & FLOM string. Unitemized gifts stay outside the $5,342,997.

Key figures

  • SKADDEN ARPS as FEC employer text totals $5,342,997 from 488 donors.
  • 9,062 contribution lines sit under that two-name truncation.
  • The full four-name partnership line is a separate key if stored that way.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or firm PAC total.

Two names, no ampersand, not the full partnership line

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. SKADDEN ARPS is the truncated two-word form as stored — no ampersand between the names. The $5,342,997 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not deal-volume statistics, not a New York bar roster, and not a NAICS rollup of all law-firm employers. People who typed SKADDEN, SKADDEN ARPS SLATE MEAGHER & FLOM, or SKADDEN ARPS LLP sit in other rows if stored that way.

The FEC field is not a human-resources export across M&A, litigation, and regulatory groups. Alumni who still type SKADDEN ARPS remain in the 488. LobbyVault does not recode the full four-name partnership line into this two-name key. Occupation pages show titles stored beside the firm.

488 donors and 9,062 lines

488 unique donors produced 9,062 SKADDEN ARPS contribution lines totaling $5,342,997. That is on the order of 19 itemized receipts per donor. The unique-person count is 488. VINSON & ELKINS is a separate ampersand key with its own page. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a partner-versus-associate split.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the firm’s committee PAC filings are outside the $5,342,997 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is federal itemized individual receipts only.

Questions

How much have SKADDEN ARPS-listed donors given federally?
LobbyVault attributes $5,342,997 to the SKADDEN ARPS employer string, from 9,062 contributions and 488 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the firm’s PAC and not a NAICS legal-services total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
Is this Skadden corporate or PAC spending?
No. The $5,342,997 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to SKADDEN ARPS. Firm treasury and committee PAC filings are other FEC categories. LobbyVault does not fold those documents into this industry row. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
Does this include the full Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom name?
Only if the grouped employer text is SKADDEN ARPS. The longer partnership line is a separate key if stored that way. A receipt counted here carries the two-name truncation without an ampersand. Lawyers who typed only ATTORNEY sit in occupation-style rows instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
How many unique donors listed SKADDEN ARPS?
The rollup counts 488 donors and 9,062 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a partnership headcount. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
