Firms fear that if they are targeted by Trump , it could devastate their business if both clients and partners flee.

A number of major firms are strategizing behind the scenes on how to react without attracting attention in wider political conversations.

Trump suggested Wednesday that universities and law firms are “bending” to his administration’s will.

White House announced it was blacklisting a number of its lawyers from federal buildings and potentially punishing its clients if they contract with the government.

The White House continued its campaign against law firms on Tuesday , announcing more restrictions.

The American Bar Association along with dozens of other voluntary lawyer groups across the country have pushed back.
