(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.
