According to the group's fifth annual Climate Scorecard, Biglaw firms received grades of 'A' to 'F' based on their work - and two separate environmental groups are now protesting outside of the offices of two firms that received 'F' grades.
Lawyers Are Responsible (LAR) referred to both Biglaw firms as 'fossil fuel industry enablers.' Akin earned $7.92 million from fossil fuel lobbying between 2019 and 2023, while A&O Shearman worked on $285 billion worth of fossil-fuel-related transactions over the same period.
Joanna Warrington, a campaigner at Fossil Free London said: 'Lawyers here are raking in millions by defending the corporations wrecking our planet. They're not just complicit-they're profiting from climate disaster while the world's most vulnerable pay the price.'
