General Counsels United, a newly formed organization, quickly accumulated over 500 members. Its nonpartisan mission is to support the rule of law and legal professionals against perceived attacks from the executive branch. Led by Eric Whitaker and Shirin Keen, the organization expresses concern about major law firms aligning with political influences instead of defending professional ethics. This initiative follows the establishment of Law Firm Partners United, which recently advocated against similar issues related to executive overreach, highlighting a growing desire among legal professionals to uphold justice and integrity in the legal field.
We can no longer trust that law firms will put their professional ethics and their clients' long-term interests first over political influence.
General Counsels United aims to support the rule of law and the independence of the legal profession, opposing executive branch attacks.
