More than 100 former Paul Weiss lawyers published an open letter on Monday denouncing the firm's 'surrender' to President Donald Trump .

Paul Weiss agreed to devote the equivalent of $40 million in free legal work to administration causes such as combating antisemitism and supporting veterans.

The deal came after Trump issued executive orders against Paul Weiss and another large law firm, Perkins Coie , citing their work for or association with the president's political enemies.

Paul Weiss also committed to nonpartisanship and to make hiring decisions based on merit.

A version of the agreement circulated by Trump circulated by the president said the firm would abandon diversity policies.

Karp said the deal did not compromise the integrity of the firm, which has strong Democratic Party ties.
