Renee Knake Jefferson reflects on a significant week, marking the beginning of her summer courses and the conclusion of her daughter's high school year, while also celebrating her new role on the ABA Center for Innovation Governing Council. The legal ethics landscape is highlighted, showcasing a shift in corporate client preferences. Companies like Oracle and Morgan Stanley are now favoring law firms that abstained from making deals with the Trump administration, indicating a growing backlash against firms perceived to have compromised their values for political expediency.
Support for the law firms that didn't make deals has been growing among corporate executives, with at least 11 big companies choosing to shift their work accordingly.
I was a reporter for the ABA Commission on the Future of Legal Services, which recommended the creation of the Center for Innovation back in 2016.
