It looks like some professional staff were laid off: https://abovethelaw.com/2020/09/skadden ... s-offices/

Is Skadden in big trouble? They are one of the two v10 firms that deferred the incoming class to 2021.

Skadden associate here but no particular special insight

Tl;dr: we’re not poor we’re just evil
