Open Letter From Big Law Associates Calls for Law Firms ‘To Defend Their Colleagues’

While law firm leaders have mostly remained quiet in the wake of presidential actions targeting Perkins Coie and Covington & Burling, some Big Law associates have gotten more vocal on the issue, revealing tensions within firm ranks.

An open letter from Big Law associates circulating this past week demands a response from law firm leadership to speak on Trump’s actions. The letter had gained more than 280 anonymous signatories across the Am Law 200 as of Friday afternoon.
