The discussions come as President Trump has taken aim at WilmerHale, another big law firm. Other major firms are said to be trying to cut deals with the White House.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s executive orders targeting the legal community pose “a grave threat to our system of constitutional governance and to the rule of law itself,” according to a court filing submitted Friday by more than 500 law firms.

President Donald Trump and Skadden Arps announced a deal on Friday to head off a potential executive order against the Wall Street firm, widening a rift among prominent law firms over their response to White House actions restricting their work.
