Senator Bernie Sanders harshly criticized prominent law firms that compromised their integrity by making deals with Donald Trump's administration. Following Trump’s executive orders targeting attorneys who challenged his policies, firms like Willkie, Farr & Gallagher and Milbank LLP opted for self-preservation, trading pro bono work for protection against punitive measures. This contrasts sharply with firms like Perkins Coie and Jenner & Block, which actively resisted Trump's orders and successfully sought court injunctions. Many within the legal community, including alumni from capitulating firms, have expressed disdain for such ethical compromises in the face of financial incentives.
Law firms that chose to cut deals with Trump showed cowardice, prioritizing profit over principle in the face of his authoritarian-like executive orders.
These zillion-dollar law firms are motivated solely by money, which leads them to sell out their principles to maintain business relationships with the Trump administration.
