There aren’t too many 408-page transcripts of evasive deposition testimony that would warrant Litigator of the Week honors. Then again, there aren’t too many cases like the one lawyers for Boies Schiller Flexner have been handling for Virginia Roberts Giuffre for the past half-decade-plus. (Thankfully, I might add.)

On Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit sided with Giuffre and intervenors at the Miami-Herald represented by Holland & Knight in ordering a 2016 deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell unsealed. Maxwell is currently facing federal criminal charges claiming she groomed underage women for Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring and lied under oath during the deposition by saying she “never saw any inappropriate underage activities with Jeffrey ever.”
