Damian Williams, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, is leaving Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison after a short stint to join Jenner & Block. Williams, known for high-profile convictions like that of Sam Bankman-Fried, will co-head Jenner & Block's litigation and white-collar practices. This follows Paul Weiss' controversial deal with the Trump administration to avoid penalties, contrasting with Jenner & Block's decision to challenge a similar executive order, which was later deemed unconstitutional.
