Notable attorney Camille Vasquez, recognized for her work in Johnny Depp's successful defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard, has announced her transition to join the esteemed Business Trial practice group at Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP. Alongside Vasquez, four other accomplished lawyers from her team - Leo Presiado, Andrew C. Crawford, Jessica N. Meyers, and Samuel A. Moniz - have also made the move to the prestigious firm.

During her tenure with Depp's legal team, Vasquez and her colleagues secured a significant victory, winning over $10 million in compensatory damages on behalf of the actor in the highly publicized suit. The attorney's expertise lies in brand reputation and defamation litigation, having previously served as a legal analyst at NBC News.

Prior to their transition to Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP, Vasquez and her team were esteemed partners at Brown Rudnick, where she co-chaired the brand and reputation management group. Their decision to join the renowned firm was influenced by its top-notch litigation practice, global footprint, full-service platform, and collaborative culture.

Vasquez and her team are currently engaged in a variety of brand reputation and defamation cases. They are representing producers of the musical film "The Deb" in a defamation suit filed against Rebel Wilson in Los Angeles Superior Court. Additionally, they are representing acclaimed singer Gloria Trevi in three separate litigations related to abuse allegations, with Trevi having been acquitted in Mexico in 2004.

In another notable case, the team is defending composer Danny Elfman in a defamation lawsuit brought forth by composer Nomi Abadi. The lawsuit stems from Elfman's statement made to Rolling Stone regarding a settlement he made with Abadi after she accused him of repeated sexual harassment and misconduct.

With their extensive experience and expertise in brand reputation and defamation litigation, Vasquez and her team are poised to contribute significantly to Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP's already successful litigation capabilities. They look forward to offering a deeper and wider bench to clients across the country, further solidifying their reputation as formidable legal professionals in their field.
