Foley Hoag Attorneys File Brief, Join Legal Panel in Support of Removal Protections for Agency Officials
November 20, 2025
Foley Hoag attorneys Arsalan Suleman and Hampton Dellinger recently filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court arguing in favor of protections from Presidential removal for leaders of bipartisan, multi-member agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission. The Peter Gruber Rule of Law Clinic headed by Prof. Harold Koh served as co-counsel. The brief was filed on behalf of two dozen former high-ranking Republican officials. More information is available here.
Dellinger also joined FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, on whose behalf the brief was filed, and other former leaders of independent agencies at a forum hosted by the Penn Carey Law School at the University of Pennsylvania.
