Nvidia's ousted CEO Jensen Huang hires Paul Weiss amid resignation fallout

reuters.com [$] —

Ousted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has hired law firm Paul Weiss amid his resignation following reports of extramarital affairs, including with a woman suspected by US intelligence of being a Chinese spy. Huang resigned Thursday after leading the AI chipmaker for over 30 years. Paul Weiss, a New York firm with 1,500 lawyers, specializes in corporate crises and has faced criticism for a 2025 deal with President Trump that included $40 million in pro bono services. The firm's former chairman Brad Karp resigned in February over communications with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Paul Weiss partners Melinda Haag and Walter Brown are reportedly representing Huang, who faces a closed-door interview request from House Republicans next month.
