Mr. Rogers in Refco’s Neighborhood of Grim Reality

The lead Skadden Arps lawyer for Refco in its ongoing bankruptcy case is a man colleagues describe as more Mr. Rogers than courtroom bulldog, perhaps in part for his penchant for sporting cardigan sweaters. J. Gregory Milmoe started his career in the Skadden mail room back in 1971 and later earned a reputation in the clerk’s office for his habit of wearing a trenchcoat and toting handcuffs when he’d go to serve papers. A key player in the LTCM restructuring, Milmoe is now overseeing 25 lawyers on the Refco case and pulling down, we’d guess, well in excess of the average Skadden partner’s apy of $1.7 million.
