Law Firm That Caved To Trump Is Ripped By Descendants Of Firm’s Patriarch
HuffPost
“You traveled to Washington to surrender before you had even begun to fight," the family of the late Judge Simon Rifkind wrote to the chairman of Paul Weiss.
One of the powerhouse law firms that caved to President Donald Trump and agreed to provide him with millions in pro bono legal services to avoid an executive order targeting it has been admonished by the family of one of the firm’s late partners who accuse it of cowering and caving to Trump.
“We were utterly stunned,” two granddaughters of the late Judge Simon Rifkind, who was a name partner with the international firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, wrote of their reaction in a letter to the firm’s chairman, according to a copy obtained by The New York Times.
“You traveled to Washington to surrender before you had even begun to fight,” Amy and Nina Rifkind, who are both practicing lawyers, wrote to Brad Karp in a letter dated March 27.
The nearly 150-year-old law firm, colloquially known as Paul Weiss, agreed to $40 million in free legal services to avoid being federally blackballed in part due to one of the firm’s former attorneys overseeing an investigation into Trump’s finances before he became president.
Trump’s executive order was one of several he signed against large law firms whose lawyers have been involved in work that he has disagreed with.
