Corporate Revolt: Major Companies Drop Trump-Linked Law Firms

Major corporations are dropping law firms with ties to the Trump administration, signaling a significant shift in business relationships. The Wall Street Journal reports that at least 11 companies have severed ties or expressed reservations about working with firms that collaborated with the Trump administration on executive orders. Among the companies distancing themselves are prominent names like Oracle and Morgan Stanley, along with an airline and a pharmaceutical company. Microsoft has also voiced concerns. This action is particularly notable given the legal victories achieved by law firms that challenged these executive orders in court. "It's a significant rebuke," says one observer, highlighting the potential impact on future political and legal strategies. The decision by these corporations underscores the evolving landscape of business ethics and corporate responsibility in the context of political affiliations.
