Addressing Remedial Action by Paul Weiss

On March 21, 2025, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14244, revoking a previous order that addressed risks associated with the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. The order acknowledges the firm's commitment to policy changes promoting political neutrality, merit-based hiring, and significant pro bono contributions, including $40 million in legal services to support various causes. This action may have implications for the legal profession's role in society, encouraging a shift towards more equitable and community-focused practices, while also potentially influencing political and legal discourse around law firm practices.
