Epstein Files Trigger a Rush to Hire Elite Lawyers

The release of the Epstein files has unleashed a surge in hiring by those named or connected to Epstein and Maxwell, with many turning to top criminal-defense and internal-investigation firms to handle scrutiny and potential fallout. Corporations, universities, and victims are all engaging counsel to vet ties, review donor relationships, or push for redactions; the House Oversight Committee is pursuing interviews with several figures named in the files. Notable engagements span medical influencer Peter Attia, supermodel Naomi Campbell, Casey Wasserman, Bard College, Barnard College, and the World Economic Forum, among others, underscoring a broader cottage industry around the recordings and ongoing investigations.
