Powerful Wall Street law firm Paul Weiss faced heavy criticism on Friday over a deal it struck with the White House to escape an executive order imperiling its business, even as some lawyers said the firm faced few other options.

The 150-year-old firm has employed many Democrats, including Manhattan’s former U.S. attorney. Its revenue was more than $2.6 billion last year.

President Trump rescinded an executive order targeting the law firm after it pledged to review its hiring practices and provide tens of millions of dollars in free legal services.
