As far as I can tell, the firm wanted to save a lot of trouble of defending itself from Trump's allegations, a process in which it would lose many if not most of its clients because of potential NAZI death threats and social media pressure from Trump's Turd Reich.

Trump’s executive order had targeted Paul, Weiss over the work of one former employee, Mark Pomerantz, a former prosecutor who previously oversaw the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office’s investigation into Trump’s alleged financial crimes. As part of bowing to Trump’s threat, the firm acknowledged that Pomerantz had committed wrongdoing.
