Get ready for an engrossing episode of Movers, Shakers & Rainmakers. We're thrilled to host acclaimed writer Mattathias Schwartz, the Chief National Security Correspondent for Insider, who is renowned for his cutting-edge investigations and in-depth journalism. Together we navigate an array of riveting topics, from ethics controversies at the Supreme Court to the trial of Donald Trump on charges of mishandling national-security documents. As a writer for Insider, Schwartz wrote a piece taking a close look at the legal-recruiting career of Jane Roberts, wife of Chief Justice John Roberts—from which she earned more than $10 million over the course of eight years. For our Moves of the Week, we discuss Blank Rome's strategic expansion into Dallas and a pair of high-profile hires of former government lawyers: Cravath picking up former deputy attorney general Jeffrey Rosen for its new D.C. office, and the Pallas Partners boutique hiring former S.D.N.Y. assistant U.S. attorney Joshua Naftalis. Don't miss out on this compelling episode packed with invaluable insights into the dynamics of our legal and political landscape.
