HeadlineMar 31, 2025

Another major law firm has agreed to cut a deal with President Trump. The firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom has agreed to provide more than $100 million in pro bono work for initiatives backed by the Trump administration in an effort to avoid being sanctioned by the White House.

Meanwhile, another firm, Perkins Coie, has opted to challenge Trump’s sanctions, but the Financial Times reports other large firms are refusing to sign a brief supporting Perkins Coie amid concerns they will face retaliation by the Trump administration.
