Washington (CNN) Morgan Lewis, a law firm representing President-elect Donald Trump, was named the "Russia Law Firm of the Year" last year by a group that ranks legal organizations.

Facing the press Wednesday for the first time since being elected president, Trump yielded a significant part of his news conference to an attorney from the law firm, which is helping separate him from his various business ties.

In highlighting its receipt of the Russia award, Morgan Lewis' website cites Chambers and Partners. "This active Moscow office of an American firm offers top-level advice in regards to the energy sector and also houses very strong banking and M&A teams," Chambers and Partners writes about the award.

Morgan Lewis' award was first noticed by NBC correspondent Peter Alexander, who tweeted the discovery.
Trump's transition team did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment.

4. Not surprising, but what a den of theives is the Trump team.

And they dared call Hillary corrupt. Kings of projection.

6. Most law firms have shady clients and the attorneys don't necessarily like them and are more than

happy to take their money.
