Statement Regarding the President’s Attacks on the Legal Profession

Altshuler Berzon LLP condemns the President’s actions targeting law firms that now, or in the past, have represented clients asserting positions contrary to those of the current Administration. These Executive Orders undermine the foundational principles of our legal system and pose a direct threat to the independence of the legal profession.

By retaliating against law firms, the President seeks to insulate his Administration’s unlawful acts from legal review. This unprecedented intimidation campaign erodes the bedrock principles of our democracy and the rule of law.

Altshuler Berzon LLP stands in solidarity with all the law firms that have been targeted.  We encourage law firms around the country to sign on to the amicus effort in Perkins Coie’s case and to courageously defend the Constitution and access to justice for our clients.
