Since his second term began, President Donald Trump has issued executive orders specifically aimed at certain BigLaw firms associated with Democratic clients. While some firms like Paul Weiss and Skadden Arps have complied with Trump's demands, others, including Perkins Coie, are pushing back through legal action, arguing the orders are unconstitutional. Firms face severe sanctions that may impact their ability to operate, such as losing security clearances and contracts with federal agencies. The judiciary's response has been cautiously favorable towards the firms fighting back, with significant rulings already made against the administration's actions.
Since the beginning of his second term, President Donald Trump has issued executive orders targeting BigLaw firms, prompting some to comply while others push back through lawsuits.
Trump's executive orders have threatened significant sanctions against targeted firms, including stripping security clearances and terminating federal contracts, raising alarms about their constitutional implications.
Perkins Coie, the first targeted firm, successfully blocked parts of one executive order, with Judge Howell labeling the Trump administration's motions as speculative and lacking legitimacy.
The conflict continues as more firms join the legal battle against Trump's administration, questioning the constitutionality and impact of the executive orders on their operations.
