The Disclosure of Engagements with Attorney Law Firms Act of 2025 directs the government's chief auditor, the Comptroller General, to investigate and report on any legal service agreements between law firms and the Executive Branch made between February 1 and April 30, 2025. The bill specifically targets high-value arrangements worth over $1 million where law firms provide legal services in connection with government-approved causes or initiatives, particularly those tied to the withdrawal or non-enforcement of executive orders or regulatory actions against the firms. The Comptroller General must complete this report within 180 days of the bill's enactment and determine whether any such settlements violate the Miscellaneous Receipts Act, which governs how the government handles money received outside of normal appropriations. The bill affects law firms that entered into these types of arrangements during the specified three-month window and the Executive Branch agencies involved in such agreements. No specific funding amount is specified in the legislation.
