Law firm in Los Angeles, United States
Latham & Watkins appears in the Epstein files primarily through articles about Kathryn Ruemmler, a former Obama White House Counsel who rejoined the firm as global co-chair of white-collar defense after her government service and who later became known for her professional relationship with Epstein.
The firm is mentioned in news articles and legal documents discussing Ruemmler's career trajectory and her role at Latham & Watkins. While at the firm (2014-2020), Ruemmler described Epstein as a 'business referral source' who referred clients to her, including a European bank. However, the vast majority of mentions (approximately 18-19 out of 29) appear in Law360 newsletter compilations listing law firms, which are low-signal automated content. The substantive mentions focus on Ruemmler's position at the firm during the period when she had professional contact with Epstein.
