    I think “the price” is some sort of loss of prestige from it’s feeder schools and cultural capital after offering pro bono work to Trump. I know they lost a bunch of their top associates (really good ones too, apparently) but I heard from a friend who goes to Princeton that a lot of the law students didn’t even want to article there anymore. I’m assuming it’s the same for other big law schools, especially Harvard Law after Trump basically put a target on their backs.

    Cadwalader is like the oldest law firm in NYC, the “Taft” in the name comes from President Taft’s brother Henry Taft. From what I understand from my friend (and her associates), it’s actually crazy that they’re merging with another legal entity.

      the new firm would likely suffer the same fate if they rolled over for trump, it would be stupid for them to do that.
