Four partners from Paul Weiss, including prominent Democratic attorney Karen Dunn, are leaving the firm following its controversial agreement with President Trump to mitigate federal scrutiny. Dunn, along with Bill Isaacson, Jessica Phillips, and Jeannie Rhee, received acknowledgment for their contributions from the firm, though the reasons for their departures remain unclear. The firm had been under scrutiny due to Trump’s executive order targeting it for its representation of clients involved in investigations against him, but the order was later rescinded after Paul Weiss agreed to certain compromises.
