Christopher Clark, a Washington lawyer who has advised Elon Musk and Hunter Biden, is leaving Latham & Watkins to launch a boutique firm.
Clark is joining Patrick Smith and Rodney Villazor, co-founders of Smith Villazor LLP, to form Clark Smith Villazor LLP, the firm said Thursday.
Clark represents Biden in tax-related probes, along with a team of lawyers that includes Winston & Strawn’s Abbe Lowell. He previously defended Musk on Securities and Exchange Commission charges that the Tesla, Inc. boss misled investors.
The former federal prosecutor was global co-chair of the securities litigation and financial institutions groups at Latham.
