We are equipped to mobilize a number of lawyers. What I’m hoping to see is that we can provide some real organization and backbone to the effort so that lawyers who are either individual practitioners or smaller firms can access resources and get involved in ways that aren’t compromising to their own practices.
— Steven Schulman, pro bono head at Akin Gump, detailing to the National Law Journal the planned response from Biglaw firms in support of the immigrants impacted by Donald Trump’s executive order. Schulman noted the involvement, not only by his own firm, but of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton, Kirkland & Ellis, and other big firms, as well as the efforts of individual lawyers and firms around the country.
