“Jones Day is the fifth-largest law firm in the United States. It has over 2,500 attorneys spread over 43 offices both here and abroad. According to American Lawyer, it grosses over $2 billion in revenue per year, which results in $1.1 million in profit per partner, per year.
Most law firms aren’t name brands outside of the legal community, but Jones Day has become just that. It’s not because of its size. It’s because Jones Day has represented the Trump campaign or Trump’s Republican Party in around 20 lawsuits, including the president’s recent desperate attempt to disenfranchise enough voters in Pennsylvania to overturn the results of the election. The New York Times estimates that Jones Day has received $20 million in legal fees from the Trump campaign or organizations connected to Trump over the past few years. In exchange for this money, Jones Day lawyers have been willing to stand up in court and advance Trump’s often bigoted, occasionally dangerous, always bad legal claims."
