Overview

  • Prominent attorney Abbe Lowell has officially launched Lowell & Associates, a new law firm focused on representing individuals and entities targeted by the Trump administration.
  • The firm includes Brenna Trout Frey and Rachel Cohen, who resigned from Skadden Arps over its pro bono deals with the administration, calling them capitulations to political pressure.
  • Lowell & Associates has already secured high-profile clients, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, whistleblower attorney Mark Zaid, and former Trump official-turned-critic Miles Taylor.
  • The firm aims to challenge executive orders and actions that revoke funding, impose sanctions, or target legal professionals representing Trump critics.
  • This move reflects growing divisions within major law firms, some of which have settled with the administration while others pursue legal challenges to protect the rule of law.
