Abbe Lowell Launches Law Firm for Trump Targets

Prominent attorney Abbe Lowell has launched Lowell & Associates, a new law firm dedicated to representing clients facing politicized investigations and legal actions initiated by the Trump administration. The firm has recruited attorneys such as Rachel Cohen and Brenna Trout Frey, who left major law firms amid disagreements over responses to Trump's executive orders targeting legal practices. Initial clients include New York Attorney General Letitia James, whistleblower attorney Mark Zaid, and former Homeland Security official Miles Taylor, all of whom have faced actions from the Trump administration. Lowell & Associates also represents organizations challenging the federal government's revocation of grant funding. The firm aims to provide strategic legal advocacy to reinforce legal guardrails and prevent government overreach. This launch comes at a time of heightened tension between the Trump administration and the legal industry, with some firms cooperating with the White House and others contesting executive actions in court.
