[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is interesting, never heard of someone Shanghaiing a law firm into providing legal services before. [/quote]

These guys just signed up to provide the Trump crime family free legal services for life. Trump doesn’t pay his lawyers.

Incredibly corrupt.[/quote]

Yup.  I am surprised Paul Weiss would agree to this.  They could have litigated it.

President Trump and the head of the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP have reached a deal under which Mr. Trump will drop the executive order he leveled against the firm, Mr. Trump said on Thursday.

In the deal, Mr. Trump said, the firm agreed to a series of commitments, including to represent clients no matter their political affiliation and contribute $40 million in legal services to causes Mr. Trump has championed, including “the President’s Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, and other mutually agreed projects.”

It’s unclear how the money will be used to help the task force. The firm also said it agreed to conduct an audit to ensure its hiring practices are merit based.

The deal was reached after the head of the firm, Brad Karp, went to the White House this week and had a face-to-face meeting with Mr. Trump to discuss a resolution. Members of the legal profession said in interviews that they were surprised by the deal, as it appears as if the firm — which is dominated by Democrats — was capitulating to Mr. Trump over an executive order that is likely illegal.

I will be firing Paul Weiss from a case tomorrow morning [/quote]

I hope you are trolling. Unless your case is being managed by firm leadership (unlikely) your attorney likely had nothing to do with this decision.

Why would this client want her company’s name associated with Paul Weiss?
