Goldman Sachs is set to add Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison partner Ted Wells to its big-name defence team as the bank continues to invest heavily in its fight against fraud charges.
Wells – the co-chair of Paul Weiss’s litigation department – has taken roles on a number of headline-making cases, including defending Bush White House aide Scooter Libby in his trial over his role in leak of the identity of a CIA officer, while he also advised Eliot Spitzer in the wake of the former New York governor’s 2008 prostitution scandal.
