Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Affiliates

For a firm that markets itself as “elite,” “prestigious,” and a guardian of the rule of law, Skadden’s recent posture in the face of Trump-era authoritarian pressure was a masterclass in moral surrender. When it mattered—when the legal profession was being tested on whether it would defend democratic norms or quietly accommodate their erosion—Skadden chose expediency. Instead of standing firm on principle, the firm appeared all too willing to fold, signaling that its vaunted prestige is less about courage and more about proximity to power. This is the uncomfortable truth: prestige without backbone is just branding. And Skadden’s brand took a serious hit when it became clear that preserving influence and client relationships outweighed any meaningful commitment to democratic accountabilit

Good communication and decent turnaround time. Whenever something needed clarification, they took the time to explain instead of giving short replies. That made a big difference.

Terrible help at the reception desk as I called inquiring about help for my Business, and the woman on the phone showed a lack of regard for helping me contact someone to assist me.

Skadden's reputation speaks for itself. One of the most prestigious and highly ranked law firms in the world.

Lawyers who don't follow the law...sounds like a bad band name.
