Harvard University, armed with different counsel, sued the Trump administration on Friday over its decision to prohibit international students from enrolling in its school.
Several partners at Jenner & Block are representing Harvard in the Friday complaint, in addition to the school’s counsel at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, King & Spalding and Lehotsky Keller Cohn. Those Jenner lawyers include Ishan Bhabha, the firm’s co-managing partner, as well as Ian Heath Gershengorn, Lauren J. Hartz and Andrianna Kastanek. The addition of Jenner among Harvard’s attorneys in this case — Harvard is a longtime client of Jenner — stands out since the law firm was targeted by a Trump executive order and has filed its own suit against the Trump administration.
