The 150-year-old firm has employed many Democrats, including Manhattan’s former U.S. attorney. Its revenue was more than $2.6 billion last year.

(Reuters) -Paul Weiss Chairman Brad Karp said in a letter to its lawyers and staff on Sunday that the Trump administration would not be "dictating" what free legal work the powerful Wall Street law firm would provide under a deal it struck with the White House last week.

The law firm will provide $40 million in pro bono legal services to support Trump’s agenda after the president threatened to rescind some government contracts with the firm and its clients.
