If true, that will mean Biden has sacrificed a critical opportunity to catalyze bold patent reform in the service of political patronage.

As the report explores, Gibson Dunn’s ties to the Republican Party run back to the Reagan era.

The Revolving Door Project praises and congratulates the Biden administration for this excellent decision. This one choice may save millions of lives.

Today the Revolving Door Project (RDP) and People’s Parity Project (PPP) released the second report in their the BigLaw Revolving Door series, examining Jones Day’s government ties and corporate clients.
