The ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and major law firms, particularly Perkins Coie, are escalating. Perkins Coie, represented by Williams & Connolly, has issued a strong response against what it describes as arbitrary retaliation from the administration, successfully obtaining a partial temporary restraining order (TRO). In contrast, most other Biglaw firms have chosen silence or have undertaken questionable actions, such as erasing diversity language and mistakenly auto-deleting pronouns from email signatures. Additionally, interim US Attorney Ed Martin faces his first ethics complaint before truly beginning his tenure.
"Perkins Coie is vigorously resisting the Trump administration's arbitrary actions against Biglaw, showcasing a strong legal defense through its counsel and earning a partial TRO."
"While Perkins Coie takes a stand, many Biglaw firms remain disturbingly silent or are engaging in practices like removing references to diversity from their platforms."
