A recent survey by Above the Law reveals that a significant majority of American lawyers oppose agreements made by major law firms with the Trump administration. Over 90% of respondents consider these agreements as 'giving in to extortion.' The survey, which received input from over 850 participants including lawyers, law students, and judges, shows that nearly 88% of in-house counsel are less inclined to work with firms that yield to governmental intimidation. Further insights from the upcoming Biglaw Intimidation Survey are awaited, along with updates on responses by Am Law 200 firms.
