Addressing Risks From WilmerHale

AI Summary: This is a policy document - specifically an Executive Order signed by the President addressing actions against the law firm WilmerHale. This regulation establishes a comprehensive set of restrictions and actions targeting WilmerHale, alleging the firm has engaged in activities harmful to national interests. The order requires federal agencies to take several specific steps, including suspending security clearances for WilmerHale employees, reviewing and potentially terminating government contracts with the firm, limiting official access and interactions with WilmerHale employees, and restricting hiring of WilmerHale personnel. Agencies must review and disclose any business relationships with WilmerHale, and contractors must reveal their connections to the firm. The order cites concerns about the firm's alleged partisan representations, potential racial discrimination, and involvement in investigations that the issuing administration views as politically motivated. The document also specifies that these actions must be conducted within legal limits and does not create enforceable legal rights for any party. Agencies are required to submit an assessment of their WilmerHale-related contracts to the Office of Management and Budget within 30 days of the order.
