Law firms pledge almost $1 billion in free work to Trump

Source: Axios

“America’s most prestigious law firms have agreed to provide almost $1 billion worth of legal work to President Trump — and that total will likely grow. Trump announced deals with 5 firms Friday. He’s now gotten the giants of Big Law to pledge a combined $940 million in pro bono legal work for conservative causes. Trump began this process by signing executive orders targeting firms that had employed or represented his critics. … Four of yesterday’s agreements came from firms that were placed under investigation for their internal diversity policies — a less severe threat than Trump’s early tactic of revoking lawyers’ security clearances.” (04/12/25)
