Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware Slams Skadden Arps After Law Firm Chooses to Pursue Costly Litigation Rather Than Accept Payment From TransPerfect

Skadden’s Latest Action Fits into Pattern of Zealous Overbilling That Has Cost TransPerfect More Than $50 Million Throughout Chancery Court-Appointed Custodianship

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--More than three years after completion of the unprecedented forced sale of TransPerfect, Chancery Court-appointed Custodian Bob Pincus from Skadden Arps and Skadden partner Jennifer Voss continue to threaten ongoing litigation and costly legal proceedings rather than simply accepting the money paid to them.

A recent letter from Voss to TransPerfect’s lawyers indicates that Skadden has refused to cash a more than $1.1 million payment made on behalf of the firm for outstanding debts owed due to unfounded accusations of “bad faith” and procedural hairsplitting.
