Mediaite reports on Skadden’s pre-emptive surrender to Trump. Whatever your politics, can you trust a firm so craven and unprincipled? Democrats probably despise Skadden even more than Republicans at this point. https://t.co/L9EjkhDeol
More on Skadden’s craven capitulation. Hard to see why any Republican would use Skadden, given its lawfare against us. Now just as hard to see why any progressive Democrat would use Skadden. It’s a sinking ship! https://t.co/FU47a7hZMF
it's kind of amazing how fast Paul, Weiss and Skadden unnecessarily self-immoliated their reputations of all people lawyers ought to know not to give in to (stupid) bullies the only winner here is Rachel Cohen
Law firms Skadden Arps and Paul Weiss are facing criticism for their recent decisions regarding legal matters associated with the Department of Education (DOE) and other contentious issues. Critics have labeled the firms as cowardly for their perceived capitulation to political pressures, particularly in relation to their involvement with cases affecting disadvantaged children and LGBTQ+ youth. Dinesh D'Souza highlighted concerns over Skadden's reputation, suggesting that both Republican and progressive Democratic clients may reconsider their association with the firm due to its alleged lawfare tactics. The backlash has intensified as comments suggest that the firms are attempting to mitigate legal troubles through strategic alliances, with some observers noting that this could lead to a decline in their standing among reputable lawyers. The situation reflects broader tensions in the legal community regarding political affiliations and ethical considerations in law practice.
