FAIRFAX, VA. (THECOUNT) — After gaining instant fame following her work on Johnny Depp’s defamation case, attorney Camille Vasquez has awarded a full partnership at her law firm, Brown Rudnick.
Formerly an associate at the firm, Vasquez is now a full partner. She had been made multiple offers from other firms to jump ship.
Brown Rudnick’s CEO William Baldiga noted in his statement that the firm departed from its usual practices to give Vasquez a promotion ahead of schedule.
“We are delighted to welcome Camille to the partnership,” Baldiga said. “Historically, we have reserved this announcement for the end of our fiscal year. But Camille’s performance during the Johnny Depp trial proved to the world that she was ready to take this next step now. We are incredibly proud of her and look forward to what she will accomplish as our newest partner.”
Vasquez said she was “delighted” that she received the firm’s “full vote of confidence.”
“I’m proud of the uniquely talented team I’ve had the privilege to lead, which exemplified teamwork and collaboration, and I look forward to continuing to represent Brown Rudnick’s culture of excellence,” she said.
