Chancery Court Imposes Deadline for End of Skadden Arps’ Custodianship After Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware Exposes Unprecedented Arrangement

Skadden Arps’ Custodianship over TransPerfect, led by Robert Pincus and Jennifer Voss, Has Cost the Company Over $15 Million without Explanation of Work Being Done

Over the course of three years after the execution of the TransPerfect sale, Custodian Bob Pincus continued to bill the company monthly with non-itemized invoices and no explanation of the work being done by Skadden Arps.
