Compliance with Final Order in Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP v. Executive Office of the President

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is directing all employees and contractors to disregard Executive Order 14250, "Addressing Risks from WilmerHale," due to a court order. The court order, dated May 27, 2025, permanently enjoined certain defendants, including EPA, from implementing the executive order. The EPA must take steps to nullify and reverse any implementation or enforcement of the executive order. Key points to consider: • The executive order was signed on March 27, 2025, and was intended to address risks from WilmerHale. • The court order is attached to the notice and provides further guidance on the implementation of the executive order. • The EPA is required to comply with the court's order, and any failure to do so may result in penalty of contempt. • The notice is directed to all EPA employees and contractors, and they are instructed to contact the Office of General Counsel or their contracting officer with any questions regarding the court's order.
