Our firm is now known more broadly than it’s ever been known in the legal community and even beyond the legal community. We have had clients and potential clients say to us sometimes, on a confidential basis, that they are particularly looking at us for matters because of how we’ve responded to what they at least personally agree with as attacks on the rule of law.
— Laurie Carr Mims, managing partner of Keker Van Nest & Peters, in comments given to Law.com Pro Mid-Market, on the firm’s response following John Keker’s “60 Minutes” interview condemning the Trump administration’s actions against law firms. “We [were] willing to take on the risk. We’ve had a history of taking on the government when we see unconstitutional acts. We did so in the first Trump administration, we did so in the Biden administration,” Mims said. “We stand up against the government. We currently have actions where we’re adverse to the government. We want to continue that and we will continue that and continue to be vocal.”
