Under the Trump administration, several major law firms are facing punitive actions for their political affiliations and representation of clients against the president's interests. The administration has issued executive orders stripping security clearances and contracts from firms like Covington & Burling and Perkins Coie. Additionally, the EEOC has started investigations into firms over their DEI policies. While associates protest, the leadership of these firms remains silent, raising concerns about potential further ramifications. Reports suggest a list of other firms could be targeted in the future due to their connections and political activities.
The Trump administration continues to openly target Biglaw firms for their representation of clients and causes adverse to the president's political agenda.
Trump has sicced the EEOC on 20 additional Biglaw firms over their DEI policies, launching full-scale investigations into their alleged 'unlawful' employment practices.
Biglaw leadership has largely remained mum, perhaps in hope of avoiding Trump's notice, but there may be no escaping the president's wrath.
Bloomberg Law has published what could be considered a blueprint for Trump's future executive orders meant to punish Biglaw firms.
