Targeting of law firms and lawyers under the second Trump administration

Judge Howell in 2018 The targeting of law firms and lawyers under the second Trump Administration refers to unprecedented actions starting in March 2025 that the second administration of U.S. President Donald Trump took against American law firms and lawyers that had previously represented positions adverse to Trump. Trump's memorandums and orders also specifically targeted lawyers Marc Elias, Peter Koski, Mark Pomerantz, James Quarles, Jack Smith, Andrew Weissmann, Mark Zaid, and Aaron Zebley.

The Trump administration made efforts to influence practices by law firms, including directing the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to send letters to 20 law firms demanding information about each's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) employment practices. The administration also threatened to bring attorneys before disciplinary proceedings, while individuals close to the administration campaign to become officials of the District of Columbia Bar, who would then oversee those proceedings for many of the attorneys.

Legal experts have stated that this targeting of law firms "could cast a chill over the freedom held by lawyers to represent clients of their choice." Law firms have responded in a variety of ways, with three firms—Jenner & Block, Perkins Coie, and WilmerHale—suing, and four firms—Milbank LLP (Milbank); Paul Weiss; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (Skadden); and Willkie Farr & Gallagher (Willkie)—making deals with the Trump administration to obviate sanctions and restore access.
