Biglaw Firm Fighting Trump Announces Staff Layoffs - Above the Law
Briefly

Perkins Coie recently experienced layoffs affecting about 5% of its business professional staff, following a retaliatory executive order issued by Donald Trump against the firm for its representation of Democratic clients.

Although the executive order was deemed unconstitutional, its fallout may have contributed to a low morale and staffing adjustments within the firm, which aims to realign with long-term strategic goals and operational needs.
"Perkins Coie is facing significant repercussions following a retaliatory executive order from Donald Trump, impacting the firm’s staffing and morale after layoffs were implemented."
"The statement from Perkins Coie emphasized that the layoffs were a strategic decision based on a year-long review, aiming to align operational needs and improve client service."
