Paul Weiss Chairman Sends Email To Employees After Trump Rescinded Executive Order Targeting The Law Firm
The chairman of law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP Brad Karp sent an email to employees on Sunday claiming that its agreement with the Trump administration “will have no effect” on the company’s culture and values.
Trump targeted the law firm in an executive order on March 14, which revoked the law firm’s security clearances. In response on Thursday, the law firm agreed to roll back its DEI hiring practices and vowed to provide $40 million in pro bono legal services to the administration.
Karp said that Paul Weiss had entered the deal with the administration after the legal industry did not mobilize in defense of the law firm.
“We were hopeful that the legal industry would rally to our side, even though it had not done so in response to executive orders targeting other firms,” the email, which was published by Business Insider, said. “Disappointingly, far from support, we learned that certain other firms were seeking to exploit our vulnerabilities by aggressively soliciting our clients and recruiting our attorneys.”
Karp also said that the resolution between the firm and the administration “will have no effect on our work and our shared culture and values.”
“The core of who we are and what we stand for is and will remain unchanged,” Karp added.
“I know many of you are uncomfortable that we entered into any sort of resolution at all. That is completely understandable,” he continued. “There was no right answer to the predicament in which we found ourselves. All of us have opinions about what is going on right now in America. This is an incredibly consequential moment for our country. It is very easy for commentators to judge our actions from the sidelines. But no one in the wider world can appreciate how stressful it is to confront an executive order like this until one is directed at you.”
