Skadden Arps firm string × 2008
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Skadden Arps and 2008 — sum to $484,606. The cell holds 413 itemized contributions and 207 unique donors. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.
Neither the Skadden Arps hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. The two-word Skadden Arps key in 2008 holds 413 lines from 207 donors. Longer legal-name spellings are other buckets. LobbyVault does not pick a canonical Am Law name. Cite this cell as the stored short string crossed with the 2008 cycle. SKADDEN, ARPS, SLATE, MEAGHER & FLOM, SKADDEN ARPS LLP, and generic ATTORNEY keys stay separate unless they grouped to SKADDEN ARPS.
9.1% of the Skadden Arps roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,342,997 ($5.3 million). The 2008 slice of $484,606 is about 9.1% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 90.9%. Treating 2008 as the Skadden Arps FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $5,342,997 as the denominator for the 9.1% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $5,342,997.

- What share of Skadden Arps FEC money is 2008?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $5,342,997. The 2008 cell of $484,606 is about 9.1% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 90.9% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Skadden Arps hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Is this Skadden Arps’s PAC or an official account?
- No. $484,606 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Skadden Arps. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a legal-services NAICS total and not Skadden’s PAC.
- Where is the overlay for the Skadden Arps 2008 join?
- Open Skadden Arps 2008 for the cycle overlay, Skadden Arps for the grouping hub, and the 2008 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
