Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
[T]here’s
a
high
demand
[for
lawyers
with
Trump
ties].
I
even
had
somebody…
who’s
at
a
law
firm
tell
me
that
he’s
gotten
more
client
work
because
of
that,
because
of
the
perception
that
he’s
really
going
to
have
good
access
into
the
administration
and
decision
making
going
on
right
now.

comments
given
to
the
American
Lawyer,
on
the
hot
lateral
market
for
former
administration
officials
from
Donald
Trump’s
first
term,
as
Biglaw
firms
attempt
to
leverage
their
government
experience
in
client
pitches..
