Perkins and Covington as of right now but he has ordered that the federal government suspend security clearances of at least some people working at Perkins and Covington. It also banned federal agencies from hiring Perkin employees unless they receive special permission and declared that the government would not pay for contractors represented by the law firm.
He is using the backdrop of these firms using unlawful DEI hiring practices to target law firms that represent his political adversaries. What country are we living in?!? |

| This is just the start. Wait until they figure out who is representing the plaintiffs in all the suits against the Trump admin. |

| Some agencies at DOJ have begun to keep “track” of some big names in Big Law (defense counsel)…sounded more bleak and menacing than usual… |

| He can fire everyone, or he can go after people, which takes manpower. He can't do both. |

His left hand and his right hand do not talk to each other. He is doing both. |

It’s not about feeling “bad” for big law. It’s the deterioration of our fundamental rules of law. If our president is going after law firms based on who they represent we are not far off from full dictatorship. |

| They’re also threatening law schools and sending letters saying they won’t hire a grad from a law school that has any sort of “inclusion” in its curriculum. So like, all good law schools. |
