Nine prominent law firms made controversial deals with the Trump administration to bypass unconstitutional Executive Orders affecting their business, a move that has been met with backlash. Clients view these agreements as a sign of weakness, leading some to withdraw their business. Additionally, many attorneys from these firms are resigning to restore their reputations. Meanwhile, Kirkland & Ellis is trying to leverage its ties with Trump in pursuit of lucrative investments, exemplifying the complex moral landscape within the legal profession.
There's something fundamentally unsavory to the majority of lawyerly types about selling out the rule of law. Nine Biglaw firms struck deals with the Trump administration in order to avoid unconstitutional Executive Orders designed to hurt the bottom line of major law firms.
Some clients see that as weak, and, increasingly, are pulling work away from the firms that have deals with Trump. Attorneys are leaving the firms that caved to Trump, hoping to get the stink of capitulation off their resumes.
