Two prominent law firms, Jenner & Block and Wilmer Hale, have filed lawsuits against the Trump administration to challenge executive orders that threaten their ability to represent clients. These legal actions underline the growing tension between certain elite firms and the Trump administration, which has issued orders targeting law firms perceived as political adversaries. The lawsuits follow a prior case by Perkins Coie and showcase a divide in the legal community, with some firms aggressively contesting these actions while others choose to comply. Jenner & Block asserts the orders are unconstitutional and plans to publicize their legal challenge.
The lawsuits filed by Jenner & Block and Wilmer Hale highlight how some elite firms are willing to fight President Trump's campaign targeting law firms he doesn't like.
In recent weeks, Mr. Trump has issued similarly styled executive orders against white-shoe law firms that he perceives as enemies and threats to national security.
The firm created a website 'Jenner Stands Firm' to publicize its filing and to highlight newspaper editorials criticizing the executive orders.
Jenner & Block stated, 'We expect to prevail quickly,' referring to their lawsuit against an unconstitutional executive order.
