Lowell, Massachusetts – Prominent attorney Abbe Lowell, known for defending Hunter Biden against various criminal charges, has recently announced the formation of a new legal firm, Lowell & Associates. Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden, received a presidential pardon in December for gun and tax offenses, showcasing the high-profile nature of legal battles linked to the Biden family. Lowell’s reputation extends beyond this case; he has also provided counsel to notable figures, including U.S. Senator Bob Menendez and members of the Trump family, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
The new firm features two former lawyers from each of the respected law firms Winston & Strawn and Skadden Arps. Reports indicate that the departure of these attorneys from Skadden Arps was influenced by the firm’s approach to former President Donald Trump’s executive orders, which targeted the legal sector. These orders prompted mixed reactions across the industry, leading some firms to sign agreements with the Trump administration, while others pursued lawsuits in opposition to the administration’s policies.
At Lowell & Associates, former Skadden attorney Rachel Cohen has expressed the firm’s commitment to standing against governmental overreach, emphasizing the need for attorneys to champion clients’ rights. “There should be lawyers willing to challenge the government when it exceeds its authority,” Cohen asserted, highlighting the firm’s ethos in navigating complex legal landscapes.
The legal environment remains contentious, with over 200 lawsuits filed against various policy initiatives introduced during the Trump presidency. These cases challenge measures affecting immigrant rights, transgender individuals, and restrictions on agency funding. The climate of activism against governmental policies is expected to continue evolving, as legal professionals align their practices with advocacy for rights and fairness.
The establishment of Lowell & Associates marks a significant development within the legal community, driving conversations about the role of attorneys in a politically charged environment. As legal battles continue to unfold, the steadfast commitment of lawyers like those at Lowell’s firm will play a crucial role in shaping the response to governmental actions.
