NEW: I obtained a copy of the email that Skadden executive partner Jeremy London sent to employees of the law firm earlier today.

The email details the “agreement” Skadden reached with Trump to avoid being targeted by an executive order.
Over the past few days, we learned that the Trump Administration intended to issue an executive order directed at Skadden. We believed it would focus on DEl initiatives and our pro bono activities. When faced with this information, we carefully considered what the right path would be for us, and the answer was not obvious. We were thoughtful and deliberate in determining the steps we might take, knowing that the decisions we were grappling with would have fundamental consequences for our Firm. As we considered our options, we were guided by our determination to uphold the significant commitments and responsibilities we have to our clients, our people, and to the broader communities and society we serve. With that in mind, we chose to engage proactively and constructively with the Administration to align on a productive path forward without the issuance of an executive order. We entered into the agreement the President announced today because, when faced with the alternatives, it became clear that it was the best path to protect our clients, our people, and our This agreement provides that we will: • Provide a total of at least $100 million in pro bono legal services, during the Trump Administration and beyond, to causes that the President and Skadden both support in relation to the following areas: assisting veterans and other public servants, including members of the military, law enforcement, first responders and federal, state, and local government officials; ensuring fairness in our justice system; and combatting antisemitism. • Change our pro bono policy so that all pro bono moving forward will be done in the Firm name and ensure that pro bono activities represent the full political spectrum. • Continue The Sadden Foundation's mission of providing pro bono legal services to a wide variety of deserving organizations and individuals. Skadden will fund no fewer than five Skadden Fellows each year dedicated to the following projects: assisting veterans; ensuring fairness in our justice system; combatting antisemitism; and other similar types of projects. Law graduates that receive Skadden Fellowships will represent a wide range of political views, including conservative ideals. • Affirm our commitment to merit-based hiring, promotion, and retention and we will not enaade in illeaal DEl discrimination and • Affirm our commitment to merit-based hiring, promotion, and retention and we will not engage in illegal DEl discrimination and preferences. We will engage independent outside counsel to advise the Firm to ensure employment practices are fully compliant with law, including, but not limited to, anti-discrimination laws. • Not deny representation to clients, such as politically disenfranchised groups who have not historically received legal representation from major national law firms, including in pro bono matters and in support of non-profits, because of the personal political views of individual lawyers. However, this commitment does not obligate any one of our attorneys to take on any specific representation. Not everyone will agree with the decision we made today, and I have great respect for the differing views that make us stronger as a Firm. But I firmly believe that an agreement centered around our pro bono work and complying with the law was an acceptable outcome to ensure Skadden will continue to thrive long into the future. This agreement does not change who we are. Skadden is a remarkable institution. We have 21 offices around the world, and our impact reaches communities in every corner of the globe. Every year we provide thousands of hours and hundreds of millions of dollars in pro bono assistance and charitable contributions to worthy causes. Through the Skadden Foundation, we have funded over Skadden is a remarkable institution. We have 21 offices around the world, and our impact reaches communities in every corner of the globe. Every year we provide thousands of hours and hundreds of millions of dollars in pro bono assistance and charitable contributions to worthy causes. Through the Skadden Foundation, we have funded over 1,000 fellowships to recent law graduates to pursue the practice of public interest law on a full-time basis. And we have more than 3,500 extraordinary people who rely on the Firm for their livelihood. As executive partner, it is my duty to protect our storied Firm so that we can continue to fulfill our commitments to our people, our clients and our communities, now and into the future. I fully appreciate that this development and other recent events have been extraordinarily difficult for all of us, both personally and professionally. I understand the significant weight that carries. Despite all the uncertainty in our profession over the last several weeks, you have continued to serve our clients with excellence and support one another in the very human way that defines our culture, and for that I am very grateful. I want to thank you for everything that you do - your continued commitment to our clients and each other is at the heart of who we are as a Firm. With this resolution, I am confident that we will go forward with resilience, strength, and integrity. With gratitude, Jeremy

Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come.

We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

I have worked with many untenured staff scientists & PIs at NIH. They are incredible colleagues who chose science in public service over more lucrative careers. Devaluing their commitment & professionalism is among the most cruel aspects of the DOGE purge

In a vomit-inducing spectacle in the Oval Office, Trump revealed himself during his meeting w/ Zelensky and the entire world saw him for what he is: a Putin-puppet, a horrendous negotiator and bully — and a loathsome piece of shit who has the IQ of a hamster pellet. #SlavaUkraini

Zelenskyy: "When they, for example say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not heroes, that the president is a dictator, what is the reaction? It's not about me. The reaction is, where is the friendship between Ukraine and the US?"

Imagine being a grown ass adult dedicated to public service and having a pissant idiot require you to write a "what did you do last week" email every Monday. I received similar treatment when Trump 1.0 required my PhD-having self to report my breaks & lunch times, and answer my phone in 5 rings.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response.

Just so we are clear - the reason why JD Vance has constantly refused to go to Ukraine is because he is a coward. He would NEVER go there and meet with their soldiers or talk with their leaders. Because their courage and integrity would show him for what he is - a sniveling jerk.
