Norton Rose Fulbright has instructed its attorneys to be cautious in communications concerning Donald Trump, requiring them to get any related writings vetted by the firm's editorial team. An internal memo highlighted the importance of focusing on legal issues rather than political ones, urging attorneys to maintain neutrality. Lawyers are encouraged to mention Trump's administration only in factual contexts, particularly when discussing legal implications of specific policies, like tariffs. However, the firm clarified that this guidance does not restrict attorneys from expressing personal political views outside of their professional context.
"The key point is that we publish and comment on legal, rather than political issues," the memo stated, emphasizing the importance of neutrality in communication.
Lawyers were advised to avoid sharing political opinions publicly, ensuring any references to Trump and his administration are strictly factual and centered on legal implications.
