A notable shift is underway within the progressive legal community, as the Democracy Forward Foundation bolsters its team with distinguished legal experts known for their work in Supreme Court and appellate litigation. Recently, the Foundation secured the services of Nathaniel Zelinsky, a former lawyer at Milbank, who joins as a senior counsel.
Zelinsky’s career trajectory has been closely followed due to his early involvement with Milbank’s new Supreme Court practice. His decision to transition to Democracy Forward underscores the organization’s commitment to escalating its legal efforts. Prior to joining Milbank, Zelinsky was associated with the high-profile legal figure Neal Katyal at Hogan Lovells LLP. At Milbank, both Zelinsky and Katyal contributed to the firm’s burgeoning Supreme Court practice, an initiative of substantial interest given Milbank’s existing agreements, such as its deal to provide free legal services for causes related to President Donald Trump.
This recruitment comes at a critical time as Democracy Forward intensifies its legal activities against various policies implemented during the Trump administration. The nonprofit has steadily enhanced its reputation for legal advocacy and litigation, positioning itself as a key player in the progressive legal landscape.
