Damian Williams, who formerly held the position of U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, has made a significant career move by joining Jenner & Block. Williams is set to lead the firm’s litigation department as well as its investigations, compliance, and defense practice. This shift marks a noteworthy exit from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, particularly noteworthy following the firm’s recent March agreement with former President Trump.
Firm Chair Tom Perrelli commented on the transition, emphasizing Williams’ credentials and integrity, which he demonstrated during his tenure in public service. This latest move continues Jenner & Block’s trend of welcoming former public servants to its ranks, reinforcing their role as staunch advocates for clients facing complex legal issues.
