Donald Trump's executive orders attacking law firms with ties to his political opponents have prompted significant backlash from the legal community, leading over 500 firms to file a legal brief opposing these actions. Notably absent from this initiative are the 27 highest-grossing law firms, whose combined revenue exceeds $74 billion. Critics, such as Nathan Eimer, express disappointment at the silence of these powerful firms, highlighting the complexities of their influence. Perkins Coie, among the firms targeted by Trump’s orders, remains a focal point in this legal battle, supported by some willing law firms.
"The largest law firms are extraordinarily powerful, and in this instance, that power actually cripples them. I'm disappointed that they didn't join," said Nathan Eimer, one of the lawyers who wrote the brief.
"The brief was filed in support of Perkins Coie, a law firm whose attorneys Trump effectively deemed a national security threat in an executive order."
"Over 500 law firms signed onto a legal brief Friday to oppose Donald Trump's executive orders attacking law firms that hired his political enemies."
