Johnny Depp’s attorney, Camille Vasquez gets promoted at her firm

Camille Vasquez, who represented actor Johnny Depp in his defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard, has been promoted to partner at Brown Rudnick. During the six-week televised trial between Johnny and Amber Heard, she became a crowd favorite. Camille had previously worked for the firm as a litigation associate. During the trial, while attempting to defend her client, the young California lawyer managed to unintentionally put the spotlight on herself, and as a result of her legal acumen and in-court brilliance, she has become the internet’s newest star.

Brown Rudnick Chairman and CEO William Baldiga announced Camille’s promotion by saying, “We are delighted to welcome Camille to the partnership. 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.”

Camille has said in a statement, “I am delighted that Brown Rudnick has given me its full vote of confidence by having me join the partnership. 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.”
