Corporations Abandon Firms That Buckled to Trump | JQJO

Major corporations are shifting legal work away from firms that compromised with the Trump administration. Companies like Oracle, Morgan Stanley, Microsoft, and McDonald's are reducing ties or completely severing relationships with firms that yielded to Trump's pressure campaign, which involved threats of contract cancellations and security clearance revocations in exchange for pro bono work. These companies express concerns about the reliability of firms that succumbed to political pressure, citing doubts about their ability to represent clients effectively. This shift follows lawsuits filed by some firms against Trump's executive orders, resulting in judicial victories declaring them an overreach of power.
