President Donald Trump's recent actions signal a strategic campaign against certain BigLaw firms that have represented his political opponents. Since his second term began, he has issued executive orders aimed directly at firms that have refused to support him or engaged in investigations against him. These orders threaten serious sanctions such as stripping security clearances, terminating federal contracts, and impairing the ability of firms to operate. Many firms are complying with Trump's demands, but some, like Perkins Coie, are fighting back in court, defending their rights against what they see as government overreach.
Trump's recent executive orders against BigLaw firms mark a troubling inversion of roles, as the president targets firms for refusal to support pro-MAGA causes.
The escalating tensions have led many law firms to comply with Trump's demands, effectively subverting their legal independence in efforts to avoid federal retribution.
