Rachel Cohen, an attorney who resigned from Skadden due to the firm's inaction amid Trump's influence, has joined Abbe Lowellâs new firm. Cohen will serve as Strategic & External Affairs Coordinator, emphasizing the firm's determination to actively engage in significant legal battles. In her viral resignation letter, she criticized Skadden's choice not to support legal challenges against Trump. Following her resignation, the firm opted to align with Trump by donating pro bono work, prompting additional departures, including Brenna Trout Frey, who also formerly worked at Skadden.
This firm isn't going to shy away from the tough fights on behalf of our clients and we are building it with attorneys like Rachel Cohen.
Some lawyers and law firms aren't prepared to meet the current moment. We are, and I'm hopeful that firms like ours choosing to lead the way will bring others down the path with us.
