Reposted from Anna Bower

Per White House pool: Trump has announced a deal with Skadden law firm in which the firm will provide $100 million in pro bono work that the administration approves of.

“This was essentially a settlement,” Trump said.

Twice what he extorted from Paul, Weiss? People should avoid Skadden for no other reason than they suck at negotiations! Also, no self advocacy and no corporate balls.

every time one of them caves, I wonder which person in leadership was on the epstein flight logs. Because I cannot imagine that there isn’t a huge blackmail scheme involved in some of these capitulations.

100%. Kompromat is a fearsome weapon. Tax evasion? Something, otherwise, they would capitulate without discovery.

Shit, tax evasion should be the least of their worries right now.

Or clients who switch from one of the standup firms to Skadden or Paul Weiss.

You realize all this "pro bono" work these firms have included in their offers is going to be used to file malicious election claims in 2026...

When you’re used to taking orders from your rich and powerful clients, you’re preprogrammed to take orders from others who are rich and powerful.

I hope that their partners and, possibly, some clients who disagree with these shameful so-called settlements, will leave and move to other firms.

Other way around. The ones standing up will get lawyers disgusted with their cowardly colleagues.

Is Loretta Lynch still a partner at Paul Weiss?

Shame, shame, shame.

I suppose any client who would choose them deserves them.

WTF?

They will hire contract lawyers at a discount to do the work and mark up the rate to the highest one the use to limit the actual cost.

They are going to increase rates for paying clients to offset the pro bono work. Their corporate clients should be boycotted by public. Can they be obtained through their filings of attorney on record?
