President Trump gets $100m deal with Skadden law firm amid pressure campaign

Published on March 28, 2025 at 06:55 PM

US President Donald Trump has announced a deal with the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom to provide at least $100 million in pro bono legal services during his administration.

DAILY POST reports that the agreement comes as the US President signed executive orders targeting major law firms linked to his critics and political opponents, whom he perceives as obstructing some of his policies.

Trump announced the deal on Friday via a post on his official Truth Social account.

“This was essentially a settlement,” Trump said, adding, “we very much appreciate their coming to the table.”

Although President Trump's administration has indicated that additional law firms could face scrutiny, he has yet to sign an order specifically targeting Skadden.

The New York Times reported on Thursday that Skadden appeared to be the first major firm seeking to negotiate a deal with Trump before he issued such an order.

Under the agreement, Trump stated that Skadden would not refuse representation to clients from “politically disenfranchised groups who have not historically received legal representation from major national law firms.”

Skadden is also expected to commit to “merit-based hiring, promotion, and retention” and to fund at least five fellows as part of a scholarship programme, Trump said.
