Milbank bends the knee to the Trump Administration
The following statement is attributable to Molly Coleman, executive director of the People’s Parity Project:
“Milbank is not the first Big Law firm to bend the knee to the Trump Administration, but it needs to be the last. The rule of law will not stand if Big Law firms continue to fall like dominoes to Trump’s autocratic demands. If more firms don’t stand up to the administration, the shakedowns will never end. Big Law firms like Milbank have proven themselves to be wildly ineffective negotiators, paying increasing ransoms to a kidnapper who has no intention of ever letting the hostage go.
Instead of saying he is “happy” to do Trump’s bidding, Scott Edelman and other partners need to follow the example of Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, and Jenner & Block and find the courage to fight back against this onslaught on our democracy.”
The People’s Parity Project is organizing lawyers and law students who are committed to ensuring the legal profession is on the right side of history.
