Partner
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Megher & Flom LLP
Virginia Milstead is the newest partner in Skadden’s Los Angeles litigation group, having been promoted in April 2020. She has a broad commercial litigation practice, with a particular emphasis on securities class actions and shareholder and M&A litigation. She represents clients in both federal and state courts, and is known for developing shrewd, innovative arguments based on her encyclopedic knowledge of the law and thorough and precise analysis of the matters in which she is involved. Milstead is also especially noted for her ability to secure early, pleading-stage victories for her clients through meticulously researched and written briefs and persuasive oral arguments, thus avoiding protracted litigation and a trial. Over the past several years, Milstead has had a remarkable track record in securing early dismissals of her matters, but particularly in her frequent cross-border work on behalf of Asia-based clients in litigation.
