Doug Emhoff Joins Top Law Firm After Kamala Harris's Election Defeat

The former second gentleman will work as a partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, focusing on corporate litigation and crisis management.

Doug Emhoff, husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, has joined Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP as a partner, marking his return to private legal practice.
Emhoff will divide his time between Los Angeles and New York, advising corporations and individuals on complex litigation, investigations, and reputational challenges with international implications.
Willkie Farr & Gallagher, a global law firm with 1,200 attorneys, cited Emhoff's three decades of legal experience and his role as a trusted advisor to global business leaders as key assets in his hiring.
Emhoff, who previously worked at DLA Piper and other major firms, stepped away from his legal career in 2020 to avoid conflicts of interest during Harris's vice presidency.
In addition to his new role, Emhoff will continue teaching entertainment law as an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center and serving on the Holocaust Memorial Museum's board of trustees.
