Paul Weiss Loses Ex-US Attorney Williams After Trump Deal

A former federal prosecutor who joined Paul Weiss in the month leading up to President Trump’s second term left for Jenner & Block.

New York-based partner Damian Williams will co-chair Jenner’s litigation department and investigations, compliance and defense practice, according to the firm’s announcement on Friday. He leaves a firm that struck a controversial deal with the Trump administration to avoid punitive sanctions to go to a firm that sued Trump to block a similar attack.
