Major companies in the U.S. have begun shifting legal work away from prominent law firms that struck deals with the Trump administration, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The WSJ reported on a legal luncheon at Manhattan’s Cipriani restaurant in May, where Brooke Cucinella, a top lawyer at the hedge-fund Citadel, told other lawyers present that they like working with lawyers who don’t run from a fight.
Not only are firms that struck deals losing clients, but those actively challenging the Trump administration in court are attracting new corporate business, per the WSJ.
Why would you want to employ a law firm that actively rolls over for the government? How do you know they aren’t working against you?
