Acritas has named &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/company-profiles/law/skadden,-arps,-slate,-meagher-flom-llp-and-affiliates/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &amp; Flom LLP and Affiliates&lt;/a&gt; as the U.S. law firm with the strongest brand. Skadden also killed it in Vault&#39;s 2013 rankings, ranking &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/company-rankings/law/vault-law-100/&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;No. 4 for overall prestige&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/company-rankings/law/best-law-firms-in-each-practice-area/?sRankID=207&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;No. 1 for general corporate practice&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/company-rankings/law/best-law-firms-in-each-us-region?sRankID=12&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;No. 1 in the Mid-Atlantic&lt;/a&gt;, among many other rankings.

Don't Act Like You Don't Know Skadden

A partner of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/company-profiles/law/hogan-lovells/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;Hogan Lovells LLP&lt;/a&gt; has been accused of attacking opposing counsel with his briefcase in a Brooklyn courthouse. It seems that the partner was channeling Hulk Hogan rather than one of the firm&#39;s founding partners, trial lawyer Frank J. Hogan.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;Photo Credit: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.djcflo.com/&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;Coleman &quot;DJ CFLO&quot; Howard  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

Wrong Hogan

Pomerantz LLP filed a class action lawsuit against Walter Investment Management Company alleging the company violated SEC regulations. Recently, the Walter Investment admitted that there were material weaknesses in their internal controls over financial reporting.

Standing up to Scammers

The former chairman of the now defunct &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/company-profiles/law/dewey-leboeuf-llp/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;Dewey &amp; LeBoeuf &lt;/a&gt; and three other of the former firm&#39;s high ranking partners have been charged with 106 counts related to &quot;cooking the books.&quot; The indictment quotes a variety of colorful and incriminating e-mails such as one stating &quot;Hey man, I don&#39;t know where you come up with some of this stuff, but you saved the day. It&#39;s been a rough year but it&#39;s been damn good. Nice work dude. Let&#39;s get paid!&quot; Maybe the partners should have listened to their &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/blog/workplace-issues/the-downfall-of-dewey-leboeuf-blame-it-on-the-lack-of-transparency/&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;associates&lt;/a&gt;.

They Really Should Have Known Better

A representative from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/company-profiles/law/patton-boggs-llp/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;Patton Boggs LLP&lt;/a&gt; called the rumor that the firm is facing bankruptcy and hired bankruptcy and restructuring lawyers &quot;laughable.&quot; The firm is currently in merger talks with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/company-profiles/law/squire,-sanders-dempsey/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;Squire Sanders &lt;/a&gt; and has recently asked 15 to 20 partners to leave who were not producing enough, a move that had been planned for over a year.
