One is Lipton, a partner in Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. The other is Joseph Flom, a partner in Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. Both experts in the exquisite art of making tempting offers or executing legalistic delays, they have opposed each other in most of the big-name raids of the past decade...
