🔴One of New York's most famous lawyers, Damian Williams, plans to leave the law firm Paul Weiss, just months after it succumbed to attacks from President Donald Trump.
📌The former federal prosecutor in New York, Williams, who joined Paul Weiss in January, intends to move to its competitor Jenner & Block, which has also been attacked by Trump, but successfully challenged the administration in court, according to the Financial Times.
📌Williams said: "I have seen firsthand how this firm skillfully 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 fighting tough battles."
📌Williams' departure resonates in New York's corporate legal scene, underscoring the turmoil the sector is experiencing after the decision of nine law firms to retreat under pressure from the Trump administration earlier this year.
