Big Law braces for second fight with Trump over capitulation deals

Big law firms are preparing for a fresh legal confrontation with the Trump administration over controversial "capitulation" agreements made over a year ago. The Department of Justice has instructed top legal leaders to undergo depositions related to these deals, which have sparked debate over their compliance with antitrust laws. This move underscores the ongoing scrutiny of corporate practices during the Trump era and raises questions about the future of such agreements in the legal landscape. The implications could be significant for both the firms involved and the broader regulatory environment.
