"All told, I captured about $52 million in contributions to Democratic-affiliated groups compared to about $4 million for Republican-affiliated groups in 2023-2024. 92.45% of contributions went to Democrats, about a 12-to-1 ratio, up from the 6-to-1 ratio back in 2020. As Muller told Bloomberg Law, "This represents a pretty significant shift to the left." Now, without further ado, these are the top 10 Biglaw firms that had the highest percentage of contributions to Democratic campaigns:"
"Proskauer Rose (100%) Susman Godfrey (100%) Fenwick & West (99.8%) Schulte Roth & Zabel (99.8%) Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton (99.7%) Steptoe (99.7%) Cozen O'Connor (99.7%) Crowell & Moring (99.5%) Perkins Coie (99.4%) Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson (99.4%) Given the way that the legal profession and the rule of law have been threatened under the Trump II reign, will lawyers and law firm staff be able to push their Democratic loyalties to the max?"
Employees and staff at large law firms donated roughly $52 million to Democratic-affiliated groups versus about $4 million to Republican-affiliated groups in 2023–2024. Contributions favored Democrats at 92.45%, producing about a 12-to-1 Democrat-to-Republican ratio, up from approximately 6-to-1 in 2020. Several top firms showed near-unanimous Democratic support, including two firms at 100% and multiple firms reporting contributions above 99%. The concentration of Democratic donations among Biglaw employees marks a further leftward shift in political giving within the legal profession and raises questions about whether that trend can intensify further.
