Private Practice After The White House
Craig is currently a partner in the Washington, DC office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP, one of the largest law firms in the United States.
In April, 2010, it was reported that Craig was engaged to advise financial giant Goldman Sachs on litigation strategy before the Securities and Exchange Commission filed its civil suit. Skadden is a long-time lawyer to Goldman. Concern that a recent Obama Administration member would lobby on behalf of such a high-profile object of both regulatory and legislative attention was expressed and deflected. Though there is a two-year Administration ban to avoid revolving door concerns, Craig said "I am a lawyer, not a lobbyist," and legal representation is not covered by the ban.
Craig has also been retained by former Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidate John Edwards in his federal case that alleges Edwards illegally used campaign funds to cover up his affair with Rielle Hunter.

He tells you that it is time to go, but that you may stay,

That you remembered you forgot to ask him what form the change would take.”
