President Trump has formally engaged with Willkie Farr & Gallagher for a $100 million commitment in pro bono legal services amid executive order threats. This agreement, the third of its kind, came swiftly after Willkie was informed of potential sanctions from the administration. Critics note this move signals a troubling capitulation within the legal community as firms are pressured to abandon diversity hiring practices. The decision was met with internal dissent from Doug Emhoff, a partner at Willkie, who advocated resisting Trump's actions, emphasizing that the rule of law and democracy are at risk.
