In a notable development within the legal community, more than 500 law firms have aligned in an amicus brief supporting Perkins Coie’s legal contest against a specific executive order issued by former President Donald Trump. This collective backing includes around a dozen Am Law 200 firms, with notable participants being Arnold & Porter, Freshfields US, and Covington & Burling. Among these, at least eight are members of the Am Law 100, marking a significant stand from prominent law firms.
The executive order in question purportedly targets Perkins Coie, and this widespread legal solidarity is not just limited to small and midsized firms but has managed to bring together well-established names in the industry. Other significant contributors to this collective action encompass Crowell & Moring, Davis Wright Tremaine, and Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, among others.
This development points to an increasingly collaborative dynamic within the legal sector when confronting policies perceived as controversial or unjust. The complete article detailing these developments and the list of firms involved is available on Law.com.
