Jan 31 (Reuters) - A lawyer for billionaire Tesla

CEO Elon Musk's political action committee is launching

a new law firm along with two attorneys whose clients include

Republicans U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and one-time

presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

The firm, Lex Politica, expands an ecosystem of small

conservative law firms that have gained prominence since

Republican President Donald Trump's first term and strengthened

their ties to Trump and his allies since his reelection.

The new firm said in a statement it will represent

"candidates, campaigns, and causes at the forefront of the

conservative and center-right movement."

Its founder is Chris Gober, a lawyer for Musk's America PAC

who also served as its former treasurer.

He is teaming up with Steve Roberts and Jessica Furst

Johnson, who left their law firm Holtzman Vogel to join Gober as

partners, the trio said on Friday.

Gober was not immediately available for comment. He told the

New York Times, which reported the firm's launch early on

Friday, that he wanted Lex Politica to become "synonymous with

the conservative movement."

Roberts and Johnson's clients also include U.S. Senator

Rick Scott of Florida, the National Republican Congressional

Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the

firm said.

Musk and spokespersons for Johnson, Scott and Ramaswamy did

not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Other conservative law firms with ties to Trump's inner

circle include Dhillon Law Group. Trump named founder Harmeet

Dhillon to head the Justice Department's civil rights division

and partner David Warrington as his White House counsel.

Another is Schaerr Jaffe, which Musk has tapped to represent

X users in free speech cases. Trump appointed Schaerr Jaffe

partner Mark Paoletta as general counsel to the U.S. Office of

Management and Budget, a key agency in the drive to shrink the

federal government.
