Paul Weiss Loses Senior Litigators in Wake of Trump Deal

Paul Weiss, one of the law firms that reached a settlement with Donald Trump’s administration over past work with his perceived opponents, just lost a group of senior litigators.

The lawyers plan to start their own firm, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter. They include Karen Dunn, co-chair of the litigation department, and Jeannie Rhee, who was involved in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of the 2016 election. The other two are Bill Isaacson and Jessica Phillips.
