Major international law firm reaches deal with White House, becoming the latest to do so

Trump - (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Another major international law firm has reached a deal with President Donald Trump to dedicate at least $100 million in free legal services to causes such as supporting veterans and combating antisemitism, the White House and the law firm announced Tuesday.

The agreement makes Willkie Farr & Gallagher the third law firm in the last two weeks to cut a deal with the White House to avert sanctions. Under the agreement, Willkie also agreed to disavow the use of equity, diversity and inclusion considerations in its hiring decisions and to not deny representation to any client “because of the personal political views of individual lawyers.”
