Where We Stand – Committed to the Integrity of the Rule of Law

Farella Braun + Martel is proud that it was among the first law firms to join the amicus brief opposing this administration’s unlawful retaliation against Perkins Coie and other law firms solely because those firms hired lawyers or represented parties in matters that the president disfavors. The Executive Orders conflict with our nation's foundational principles, the Constitution, and the rule of law. For our system of justice to function effectively, legal professionals must be free to zealously advocate for all their clients—whether they are large or small, wealthy or poor, regardless of political association—without fear of retribution from the government.

Farella's commitment to equal access to justice for all remains unwavering. Everyone deserves an advocate. History will judge this moment as one of great significance for our nearly 250-year-old democracy. We are proud to stand publicly in support of these bedrock principles of our judicial system.
