Our Statement

Following the Government’s Notice of Appeal

The district court correctly declared that Jenner’s clients have a right to independent counsel and that the firm’s right to represent clients vigorously and without compromise is sacred. We look forward to confirming this on appeal. We will continue doing what we do best: fearlessly representing our clients under all circumstances.

    Jenner & Block Statement Following the Court’s Decisive Ruling: We are pleased with the court's decision to decisively strike down an unconstitutional attack on our clients' right to have zealous, independent counsel and our firm's right to represent our clients fully and without compromise. This is the second ruling striking down these executive orders, which—as the court found—threaten “not only the First Amendment but also the right to counsel’s promise of a conflict-free attorney ‘devoted solely to the interests of his client.’”

    Our decision to fight the executive order in court is rooted in Jenner & Block's history and values: we fiercely advocate for our clients under all circumstances. This ruling demonstrates the importance of lawyers standing firm on behalf of clients and for the law. That is what Jenner will continue to do for our clients—paying and pro bono—as we look to put this matter behind us.

    Jenner & Block Response to TRO Ruling: Consistent with the law, the court has agreed that this is an unconstitutional executive order holding no legal weight. We will continue to do our job as lawyers to be independent advocates for our clients—just as we always have.

    Jenner & Block Statement: On March 28, 2025, Jenner & Block filed a lawsuit to stop an unconstitutional executive order that has already been declared unlawful by a federal court. We expect to prevail quickly.

    For more than 100 years, Jenner has stood firm and tirelessly advocated for our clients against all adversaries, including against unlawful government action. We once again go to court to do just that. To do otherwise would mean compromising our ability to zealously advocate for all of our clients and capitulating to unconstitutional government coercion, which is simply not in our DNA.
