Description

BigLaw powerhouse Skadden Arps recently agreed to pay $4.6 million to settle Department of Justice allegations that it failed to register lobbying work it performed on behalf of the Ukrainian government -- work that came to light through Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of Paul Manafort. Law360 D.C. reporter Jimmy Hoover joins us this week to unravel the saga of how Skadden’s work for Ukraine began with caution but ended with lies. Senior Legal Ethics Reporter Andrew Strickler also stops by to explain more about the legal risks one particular former Skadden partner now faces following the settlement. We also discuss the Supreme Court’s ruling that allows the Trump administration’s ban on transgender military members to move forward; and a lawsuit brought by fans of the New Orleans Saints who are upset about a call that cost their team a chance at the Super Bowl.
