Reproductive Rights AbortionI had a lot of partners sen[t] me emails that said thank you. I had a lot of partners that sent me emails that said that’s inappropriate.

We did what we thought was right. [The way politics affects operations is] one of the hardest issues that law firm leaders, probably business leaders in general, are facing today.

— Michael Heller, executive chairman and chief executive office of Cozen O’Connor, in comments given to Bloomberg Law, concerning the firm’s decision to pay for abortion-related travel expenses after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Heller said that his firm needs to balance constitutional rights against the need “to look ourselves in the mirror. We err on the side of trying to do what we think is right.” Click here to see which Biglaw firms are reimbursing for abortion-related travel expenses.
