Johnny Depp’s legal team members, especially Camille Vasquez, are getting immense praise on social media. Sources claim that reputed law firms are in a bidding war for the all-star attorney who grilled Amber Heard during her cross-examination. Industry sources have also stated that it is only a matter of time before she decides which firm to join.

Camille Vasquez became a star in her own right after she sparred with the Aquaman actress and famously objected the actress’ lawyer Elaine Bredehoft several times during court proceedings. The 37-year-old has become a popular figure among Johnny Depp fans.

A source told the New York Post that the tough as a nail lawyer has received several offers from Hollywood law firms following her victorious performance during the recent defamation trial. The source revealed:

“Talent agents are circling Camille because they recognize that she is the unicorn — a smart, savvy, poised attorney whose impactful performance during the trial propelled her to a rare level of visibility. And the fact that she is a woman of color is an added bonus.”

The Post revealed that the lawyer has already received several offers from traditional TV networks and cable channels. A former network executive familiar with such offers told The Post:

“Camille is inarguably a great voice to weigh in on legal matters and networks are naturally chomping at the bit to speak with her about on-air opportunities.”

“She can probably go anywhere”: Attorney claims Camille Vasquez can join any firm she pleases

Although firms continue to fight for the University of Southern California-graduate, she remains an associate at law firm Brown Rudnick, which represented Johnny Depp. Judd Burstein, a celebrity lawyer, predicted that Camille Vasquez will be a partner at Brown Rudnick “soon.”

Nicki Minaj’s attorney Burstein added that a legal firm would not have allowed her to take a very public case like Depp’s trial “if she wasn’t on the partner track.” Burstein added:

“There are two factors that go into making a partner — your quality of lawyering and ability to attract business. She can probably go anywhere and make a nice deal for herself.”

Another source, who wished to remain anonymous, also confirmed that several companies are fighting for Vasquez. They said:

“The legal community is buzzing with firms fighting to be the highest bidder for Camille to join their team. She’s a shark and her performance in trial showed it.”

Camille Vasquez has sky-rocketed in her career, to the point where she was performing much better in court than senior lawyers. A source compared her to Amber Heard’s attorney Elaine Bredehoft:

“Camille’s trial skills were much more effective than Elaine Bredehoft to a point where I almost felt bad for Elaine where she was being out-lawyered by an associate like that.”

Following her success in court, Brown Rudnick told The Post that they were “thrilled” to see their associate Vasquez garner surplus attention:

“We were always confident that she had what it takes to succeed on this stage. That’s why she is a key member of the trial team and has a bright future with us.”

The internet became huge fans of the lawyer, to the point where they assumed that Johnny Depp and Camille Vasquez were in a relationship. Netizens were thrilled to see the two get along well in court. However, rumours of the same were debunked when she was spotted with her boyfriend Edward Owen.
