As part of a compromise related to funding a $6.4 million settlement with the family of Freddie Gray, Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale and Dorr will have to wait a bit longer to be fully paid for its work for the city of Baltimore.
According to a report in Tuesday’s Baltimore Sun, the city’s spending panel won’t ask the city council to approve the full $2 million billed by the Wilmer team for representing Baltimore in a U.S. Department of Justice probe, but will instead request $1.2 million. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake will seek an additional $800,000 to $1 million for the firm in her proposed budget for the year that begins July 1, the paper reported.
