Former Corporate Legal Executives Condemn Trump’s Executive Orders Targeting Law Firms

A newly filed legal brief by 67 former top lawyers accuses Trump of undermining constitutional rights and coercing businesses, as legal battles over his executive orders intensify.

Former general counsels from companies like Microsoft and Intel submitted a legal brief supporting law firms targeted by Trump's executive orders.
The brief argues that the orders violate the Constitution, erode the right to legal representation, and coerce political loyalty through federal contracts.
Trump’s executive orders restrict targeted firms' access to government buildings and threaten their clients' federal contracts, sparking legal challenges.
A coalition of 504 law firms and several prominent attorneys have filed separate briefs denouncing Trump’s actions as a threat to the rule of law.
Some major law firms, including Skadden Arps and Paul Weiss, have negotiated settlements with Trump, reflecting divisions within the legal community.
