Jensen Huang turned to Paul Weiss after resigning as Nvidia CEO following reports of affairs with three women. The firm has faced criticism over a deal with President Donald Trump and the resignation of its former chair, Brad Karp.
Jensen Huang turned to Paul Weiss after resigning on Thursday as Nvidia CEO, a post he held for more than 30 years. The resignation followed reports that he had extramarital affairs with three women, including an Nvidia executive and a Chinese businesswoman whom US intelligence suspects of being a Chinese spy.
Paul Weiss reached a deal with President Donald Trump to rescind a 2025 executive order targeting the firm, pledging $40 million in pro bono legal services for projects agreed with the White House. Its longtime chair, Brad Karp, resigned in February after reports surfaced of his communications with Jeffrey Epstein; Karp has not been accused of wrongdoing.
The New York Times reported that Paul Weiss partners Melinda Haag and Walter Brown are working with Huang; Reuters could not independently confirm which lawyers represent him. Nvidia's board has separately hired Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to conduct an independent investigation led by Joon Kim.
