Skadden Arps has faced significant backlash after securing a $100 million pro bono deal with the Trump administration to avoid an Executive Order targeting the firm. This contentious arrangement led to internal changes, including restricting associates' email communications. Since not all associates can afford to quit their high-paying roles due to financial burdens, many have begun to organize, planning to opt out of recruitment events to signal their dissatisfaction with the firm's actions without jeopardizing their careers. The atmosphere within the firm is tense, as associates struggle with the implications of the deal.
