Skadden's racing to the bottom and is paying $100M to get there. So shameful.

It's just pure extortion.

It doesn't even matter if these guys are there or not. The president cannot punish private law firms for representing people or causes he doesn't agree with.

The government trying to fire people’s lawyers in cases/matters they have against the government presents massive due process issues. Was this a feature of the Paul Weiss EO? It’s really the law firm corporate clients that need to be getting on board with resisting this.

Yes it was the same stuff with Paul Weiss: supporting Mueller investigation, pro bono activities he didn't like yadda yadda.

Paul Weiss was about Mark Pomerantz. Jenner is about Andrew Weissman.

The fact that Wilmerhale got this complaint filed in what, less than 15 hours? They were ready.

Clement is an extremely well-respected conservative lawyer. Very intentional.

Wilmer Hale and Jenner will not be backing down.

Jenner just officially sued, represented by Cooley.

"Today, Jenner & Block filed a lawsuit to stop an unconstitutional executive order that has already been declared unlawful by a federal court. We expect to prevail quickly.

For more than 100 years, Jenner has stood firm and tirelessly advocated for our clients against all adversaries, including against unlawful government action. We once again go to court to do just that. To do otherwise would mean compromising our ability to zealously advocate for all of our clients and capitulating to unconstitutional government coercion, which is simply not in our DNA."
