The discussions come as President Trump has taken aim at WilmerHale, another big law firm. Other major firms are said to be trying to cut deals with the White House.

The White House singled out WilmerHale as it ramps up its campaign against firms connected to individuals perceived as political enemies by the president.

The president has targeted firms that he claims have “weaponized” the legal system. On Friday, Jenner & Block and WilmerHale fought back in court, while Mr. Trump said he’d reached a deal with Skadden to avert an executive order.

A prominent international law firm reached a deal with President Donald Trump on Friday to dedicate at least $100 million in free legal services and to review its hiring practices, averting a punishing executive order like the ones directed at nearly a half-dozen other major legal institutions in recent weeks.

Jenner & Block and WilmerHale had employees linked to the Mueller investigation, which provoked Trump in part to punish them.

President Donald Trump expanded his attacks on major U.S. law firms on Tuesday as he signed an executive order targeting Jenner & Block, which represents clients challenging some of his major policies and formerly employed a prosecutor involved in a special counsel investigation of his 2016 campaign.

A blistering order from President Donald Trump accused the powerhouse firm of "obvious partisan representations." The firm calls it a presidential effort to silence opponents.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order Tuesday targeting Chicago law firm Jenner & Block. The firm also has an office in Washington, D.C.
