WilmerHale and Other Firms Praised for Defending Rule of Law Against 2025 Executive Orders
WilmerHale, along with Jenner & Block, Susman Godfrey, and Perkins Coie, has been recognized for their steadfast defense of the Rule of Law against what are described as "patently unconstitutional Executive Orders" issued by the administration in 2025. This commendation comes from a blog post by John Palfrey, who highlights the importance of law firms standing up for constitutional principles, regardless of the political climate. Palfrey contrasts these firms with others that he suggests "folded" under similar pressures or remained silent. The discussion also touches upon the evolving landscape of legal practice, including the integration of AI and its implications for hiring and client representation. The author emphasizes that clients should prioritize firms willing to uphold legal integrity.
