Cyrus Vance Jr., former Manhattan district attorney who led a criminal probe into United States President-elect Donald Trump’s business dealings, has joined the Paris branch of global law firm Baker McKenzie.
“We are delighted to welcome Cyrus Vance Jr, former Manhattan District Attorney (2010-2021) to Baker McKenzie Paris. He will provide clients with his widely recognized expertise in criminal law, cross-border investigations and compliance,” the company wrote on Tuesday in a post on LinkedIn.
Baker McKenzie announced the transfer just days before the U.S. president-elect’s inauguration on Jan. 20. Marie E. Hebert, the firm’s director of global media relations, said his “move to Paris has nothing to do with the fact that he investigated President-elect Trump.”
