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.

The firm agreed to provide pro bono work for causes chosen by Trump and to change its workplace diversity practices, the White House said.
