High-Profile Departures from Paul Weiss Following Trump Settlement
A wave of departures has hit Paul Weiss as several prominent lawyers leave the firm in the wake of its recent settlement with Donald Trump. Notable among those leaving is former U.S. attorney Damian Williams, who has joined Jenner & Block, a law firm actively fighting Trump. The trend continues as other top attorneys, including former Manhattan and SDNY prosecutors, follow suit, making similar moves to firms that oppose Trump. This exodus highlights the ongoing tensions within the legal community regarding the firm’s controversial dealings.
