Perkins Coie, a law firm attacked by President Trump for representing Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, has responded by hiring the prestigious firm Williams & Connolly. This move signifies a sharpening of conflict as Trump’s executive order threatens to undermine Perkins Coie's capability to interact with federal entities, raising serious concerns among legal experts about its implications. The order is viewed as a significant assault on legal representation, suggesting that lawyers may suffer repercussions for defending clients opposed to Trump's interests, thus threatening the independence of the legal profession.
Perkins Coie has enlisted the support of Williams & Connolly to counteract President Trump's executive order targeting it for its representation of Hillary Clinton's campaign.
President Trump's executive order has severely limited Perkins Coie's ability to engage with the federal government, reflecting a direct attack on legal representation and the judiciary.
