🔴One of New York's most famous lawyers, Damien Williams, intends to leave the Paul Weiss law firm, just a few months after it succumbed to attacks from President Donald Trump.
📌Former federal prosecutor in New York, Williams, who joined Paul Weiss in January, plans to move to its competitor, Jenner & Block, which has also been attacked by Trump, but it challenged the administration in court and won, according to the Financial Times.
📌Williams said: "I have seen firsthand how this firm expertly handles the toughest cases and adheres to its values," and added: "I am excited to join a team with exceptional legal expertise that does not shy away from tough battles."
📌Williams's departure resonates in the corporate legal landscape in New York, underscoring the turmoil the sector is experiencing after the decision of nine law firms to pull back under pressure from the Trump administration earlier this year.
