Rachel Cohen, lawyer formerly of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, joins to discuss the country’s largest law firms bending the knee to Donald Trump.

Rachel Cohen then dives Trump’s successful effort to cow some of the biggest law firms in the US – including her former firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom – unpacking precisely what makes these law firms so “important” to Trump (wealthy clients, billions in profits), and the intimate relationship they have with the political elite, before walking through the actual contents of Trump’s threats to these firms’ contracts and access to federal buildings (e.g. courts), and why, unlike others, Skadden seemed to capitulate without even facing an Executive Order, including handing over $100m in pro-bono work to the administration. Expanding on this latter element, Cohen tackles the Trump Administration’s underlying aims for this authoritarian push against these attorneys elite, with the push against DEI policies, the takeover of pro-bono work, and the Executive Orders chilling pushback to Trump’s anti-migrant and anti-trans agenda coming at a time where he and his goons are undercutting due process for migrants and criminalizing trans identity. After touching on the mix of hubris and cowardice driving the executive capitulation in the world of corporate law, and what the internal pushback looks like among Cohen’s peers, Rachel, Sam, and Emma wrap up by reemphasizing the real goal of Trump’s project – a fascist takeover – and the importance of organized dissent.
