Attorney Aba Lowell is considering a new law firm dedicated to the presentation of “those facing politicized investigations” and other legal actions of the Trump administration.
Lowell, a longtime defense lawyer on the white collar, is numbers on both sides of the path, including Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, as well as Hunter Biden.
The company comes after Lowell left Winston & Straw against reports that he would represent New York Prosecutor General James James after she was aimed at a criminal investigation based on a suspected mortgage fraud.
“This company is prepared for today’s dynamic legal landscape, offering a more built model than larger companies can provide,” Lowell said in a statement. “I started my career in private practice in my own company and I am excited to lead a small but agile team, ready to present companies, non -profit organizations and persons in need of our experience and dedication.”
The company does not list James or other among its new clients, but said it has already provided customers who are the goals of the Trump administration.
“Among the clients of the company are natural persons, including current and former state and federal employees who have been illegally and inappropriately directed by this administration. The company also represents entities and organizations involved in court disputes for the incorrect annulment of the grant by the Ministry of Government and the Federal Government.”
Starting its own company, Lowell turned to a number of lawyers who left large companies against the backdrop of complaints about how they answered a series of action from the Trump administration aimed at large law firms.
Rachel Cohen will join the company after offering its conditional resignation to its previous Skadden ARPS company, sending a firm email calling for the leadership to come up with a “satisfactory response to our present moment”.
“The law firms must be combined in condemning these actions and indicate how much beyond are pale. And I think they are afraid to do so for various reasons. The first is that the big law has a deep problem with collective actions,” Cohen told Hill in March.
“This just comes to this, this industry will remain silent when the president works beyond the balance of the law or not?” She added.
Skadden Arps was among the 20 companies aimed at the Equal Opportunity Commission (EEOC) demanding details on its practices for hiring diversity. Later, he signed a deal with the Trump administration, which agreed to make $ 100 million for professional work – a similar transaction to those signed by other companies who want to avoid the Trump executive orders, which prohibits their government buildings.
Joining the company and former Scaden lawyer Brena Trooth Frey, who left the company after criticizing her to reach the deal.
“Today, the executive partner of my former company sent us all the” update “, which tried to convince some of the best minds in the legal profession that made us solid by capitulating the Trump administration for Fealty and Protety Pone,” she wrote in LinkedIn Post last month.
“There is only one acceptable response from the lawyers to the requests of the Trump administration: the rules of the law matters. The rules of the law matters. As a lawyer, if my employer cannot defend the rule of law, then I cannot ethically work for them.”
Joining the company are other former Winston & Straw’s lawyers, including David Koponski and Isabella Oishi, who both worked in the affairs of Biden, as well as Angela Riley, who comes to the exhale company.
