Yet another law firm has caved to Donald Trump’s demand for pro bono work on behalf of the administration, which is seeking revenge on firms linked to critics or those involved in his past investigations. Milbank LLP, Trump announced Wednesday, has agreed to do at least $100 million in free services for whatever the firm and his administration deem appropriate. Examples Trump provided were, “Assisting Veterans and other Public Servants, including members of the Military, Law Enforcement, and First Responders; Ensuring fairness in our Justice System; and Combating Antisemitism.” In a statement, Milbank Chairman Scott Edelman said in part that the agreement “is consistent with Milbank’s core values.” Milbank joins a growing list of firms that have opted to work with the Trump administration as the president uses executive orders to thwart their business. Others who have come to an agreement include Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, and Willkie Farr & Gallagher. Three other firms have sued the administration, including Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, and WilmerHale.
