The Trump administration is actively targeting prominent law firms for their representation of clients who oppose its agenda. Three major firms have faced retaliatory executive orders affecting their operations and attorneys' privileges. Associates from various firms, representing significant legal talent across the U.S., are now voicing their concern through an open letter demanding their firms speak out against these actions. Although firm leaders have remained silent, these associates highlight the need for legal professionals to defend the rule of law and not succumb to political pressures.
We call on our employers, large American law firms, to defend their colleagues and the legal profession by condemning this rapid purge of 'partisan actors,' a group that seems to be synonymous with those the president feels have wronged him.
Our hope was that our employers, some of the most profitable law firms in the world, would lead the way. That has not yet been the case, but it still must.
