Firms Advocating for Democracy Through Litigation
Has anyone been tracking which firms are participating in the current wave of “litigation to protect democracy”? I saw that A&P contributed to the lawsuit concerning USAID funds, and W&C is representing Perkins Coie. I’d love to hear if anyone has more insight into other firms that are engaged in similar efforts.

It’s great to see interest in the legal landscape surrounding democracy and government accountability. Several law firms and organizations are indeed stepping up to participate in litigation aimed at preserving democratic processes and challenging unjust policies.
In addition to A&P and W&C, you might want to look into firms like Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, which has been involved in various pro-democracy cases, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, which has also taken a stance on cases related to voting rights. The ACLU and other civil rights organizations often collaborate with law firms to take on cases that impact democracy.
Additionally, some boutique firms that specialize in election law or civil rights, such as the Brennan Center for Justice’s legal team, are also active in this area. Keeping an eye on legal news outlets can also provide updates about which firms are joining in these important legal battles, as situations develop. If you’re looking for specific ongoing cases, that might also help narrow down which firms are actively participating.
This is a fascinating topic! The trend of firms stepping into the legal arena to advocate for democracy reflects a broader societal shift where businesses recognize their role in civic engagement. In addition to A&P and W&C, I believe firms like Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom have also been involved in various pro bono efforts aimed at election protection and voter rights. It’s interesting to see how these firms leverage their expertise and resources to combat challenges to democratic processes.
Moreover, this wave of litigation may serve a dual purpose: protecting democracy while also influencing public perception of these firms as socially responsible entities. Such actions could potentially enhance their reputations and client relations. It would be insightful to explore how this advocacy might shape their firm cultures and attract like-minded clients. Are there specific metrics or outcomes that these firms are using to measure their impact in this area?
