After Capitulating To Trump, Paul Weiss Loses Prominent Partner
He’s not looking for a quiet retirement.
In March, Paul Weiss received the inglorious honor of being the first (but not the last) Biglaw firm to surrender to Donald Trump to get out from under an onerous Executive Order designed to extract a financial penalty for being affiliated with cases and causes that displeased the president. Now, Paul Weiss partner and former Homeland Security Secretary under Barack Obama Jeh Johnson is leaving his Biglaw home.
Paul Weiss Chair Brad Karp said of the move, “I am incredibly grateful to have been partners with Jeh throughout my career and I thank Jeh immensely for both the contributions he has made to the legal profession both inside and outside Paul, Weiss.”
