Neil Sacker, who spent two decades in-house at major film studios and production companies before joining Stroock & Stroock & Lavan’s Los Angeles office last year, has decamped for Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.

Sacker, most recently special counsel at Stroock, will be of counsel at Skadden. When Sacker joined Stroock about 14 months ago, it was his first foray into private practice. He was returning to legal work after taking several years off to deal with a health crisis.
