Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP will dedicate the services to causes supported by both the firm and the Trump administration, including assisting veterans and other public servants, ensuring fairness in the U.S. justice system, and combating anti-Semitism.The firm also committed to funding at least five law graduates under a fellowship dedicated to supporting the causes each year and employing merit-based hiring practices, vowing not to deny representation to members of politically disenfranchised groups.
A White House statement explained that Skadden had approached Trump about its "strong commitment to ending the weaponization of the justice system and the legal profession." Jeremy London, the firm’s executive partner, said the two parties worked "constructively" to reach an agreement.
