## Summary

Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday after more than 30 years as Nvidia’s chief executive, following reports alleging affairs with three women, including an Nvidia executive and a Chinese businesswoman whom US intelligence suspects of being a spy. Huang has turned to Paul Weiss for legal help, bringing a prominent firm with its own recent controversies into a high-profile corporate crisis.

The firm agreed last year to provide $40 million in pro bono legal services for projects agreed with the Trump administration, after the president’s executive order targeted its lawyers. Its former chairman Brad Karp stepped down in February after emails showed extensive communications with Jeffrey Epstein; Karp has not been accused of wrongdoing. Reports say Paul Weiss partners Melinda Haag and Walter Brown are working with Huang, while Nvidia’s board has separately hired Wachtell to investigate; congressional Republicans have also requested a closed-door interview with Huang next month.
