Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
[The
nine
firms
that
made
deals
with
Trump
are]
not
a
place
where
any
well-regarded
litigator
wants
to
be—I
don’t
think
that’s
good
for
your
brand.
I
don’t
think
that’s
good
for
what
we’re
supposed
to
stand
up
for,
which
is
fighting
the
government
and
fighting
for
the
rule
of
law.
— Beth
Wilkinson,
founding
partner
of
Wilkinson
Stekloff,
in
comments
given
to
Bloomberg
Law,
concerning
the
“great
advantage”
litigation
boutique
firms
have
had
thanks
to
having
“been
insulated”
from
Donald
Trump’s
attacks
on
Biglaw
firms.
In
total,
nine
firms
made
deals
with
Trump,
totaling
$940
million
in
free
legal
services
for
causes
supported
by
the
administration.
