She was a breakout star of the trial and the subject of countless memes and TikTok videos. 

In an announcement, the firm said: ‘Vasquez was a key member of the litigation team that won a jury verdict on June 1, 2022 for actor Johnny Depp in his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.’ 

The firm’s CEO said: ‘Historically, we have reserved this announcement for the end of our fiscal year.

‘But Camille’s performance during the Johnny Depp trial proved to the world that she was ready to take this next step now. 

‘We are incredibly proud of her and look forward to what she will accomplish as our newest partner.’ 

Depp sued Heard for defamation over an op-ed she wrote in which she described surviving domestic abuse. 

The jury ruled that she defamed him by suggesting incorrectly that he had abused her. 

Heard was ordered to pay Depp $8million after deductions. She has now said she cannot afford to pay.

Heard decried the verdict as a set-back for victims of domestic violence. 

She said it only proved how powerful and popular Depp is, and that he did abuse her throughout their brief marriage.
