Federal judges across various jurisdictions have ruled that Donald Trump’s Executive Orders, which aimed at Biglaw firms, violate the Constitution, specifically the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. All law firms that challenged these orders—Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, WilmerHale, and Susman Godfrey—were granted summary judgment in their favor. Despite these rulings, the Department of Justice has filed an appeal regarding the Perkins Coie case, suggesting ongoing legal battles. Perkins Coie expresses confidence, emphasizing their commitment to upholding the rule of law while continuing their legal practice.
"The courts have permanently blocked all four unlawful executive orders targeting law firms because those orders violate core constitutional freedoms."
"In the meantime, we will continue to practice law, as we have for over a century, and remain guided by the same commitments that first compelled us to bring this challenge: to protect our firm, safeguard the interests of our clients, and uphold the rule of law."
