Maybe a pro-bono thing?

FLASHBACK: WilmerHale Gets Obama’s Church Off IRS Hook (Wilkins now chief counsel for IRS)
The American Lawyer ^ | May 22, 2008 | Zach Lowe
Lawyers from Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr have won the dismissal of an IRS case against United Church of Christ, Sen. Barack Obama’s denomination.
The IRS initiated an investigation early this year after a speech by Obama at a 50th anniversary celebration of the church last June. It was a reference by Obama to his presidential candidacy in a talk otherwise focused on faith that caught the agency’s attention.

Obama has been a member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago — a UCC congregation — for more than 20 years. The church has been in the headlines for several months now as the congregation lead by the controversial Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
WilmerHale was retained after church officials interviewed several firms, according to partner William Wilkins. “We were so interested in the case we offered to do it pro bono,” Wilkins says.
