Looks like the Pirates of the Caribbean star isn't the only one to benefit from his defamation trial win over Amber Heard.
A big hit with the self-described “Deppford Wives” fanbase, Vasquez told the assembled loyalist and media on June 1 that “today’s verdict confirms what we have said from the beginning, that the claims against Johnny Depp are defamatory and unsupported by any evidence. “We are delighted to welcome Camille to the partnership,” said Brown Rudnick chair and CEO William Baldiga said today in what is as much a triumph for the national firm as it is for Orange County-based litigator Vasquez. “Historically, we have reserved this announcement for the end of our fiscal year. “I am delighted that Brown Rudnick has given me its full vote of confidence by having me join the partnership,” the much in demand Vasquez herself said.

The panel ordered Depp to pay Heard $2 million in damages.

Camille Vasquez repeatedly called Amber Heard a liar in the final days of Depp's trial against his ex-wife.
And she has become a celebrity in her own right, with fans cheering her and her boyfriend, the WeWork executive Edward Owen, on their way to the airport while they were leaving Virginia. The quick promotion for Vasquez, a graduate of Southwestern Law School and the University of Southern California, may be a way for Brown Rudnick to keep her on the firm's staff.

The attorney was thrust into the limelight while defending Depp in court and has been rewarded with a promotion after a bidding war from rival firms.
In a law firm the role of partner is seen as the ultimate reward for seasoned lawyers who have proved themselves invaluable to the business. In recent days it had been reported that Vasquez was the subject of a bidding war with numerous offers from law firms for her services. During the course of that trial one member of Depp’s legal team grew into something of a celebrity online with her sharp words to Heard and non-nonsense demeanour in court.

The firm also said that she was a "key member" of Depp's trial team and that she "has a bright future" with them. Brown Rudnick told the Post that they were "thrilled" to see Vasquez gain recognition for her abilities, adding that she was a "star". Vasquez also delivered the closing statements in the trial, which was quite an "unprecedented" responsibility given to someone who is, as of yet, only an associate at her law firm, said a high-profile lawyer to The Post.

“Historically, we have reserved this announcement for the end of our fiscal year. Ms Heard described the verdict as “a setback” for women who speak up with allegations of abuse and her attorney has already said she plans to appeal. In the op-ed, Ms Heard described herself as a victim of domestic abuse and spoke of feeling “the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out”. “It’s been overhwleming and surreal but to the extent that I can encourage young women to stay in school and pursue a legal career, it’s all worth it,” she said. Outside the courthouse in Fairfax, Virginia, Ms Vasquez was spotted greeting fans and the Alpacas that some had brought to the courthouse in support of Mr Depp. Inside the courtroom, she was celebrated by Mr Depp’s fans for her tough cross-examination of Ms Heard, where she challenged her claims about being a victim of domestic abuse and sought to tear holes in her version of events.
In interviews with "Good Morning America" and "TODAY," Johnny Depp's lawyer Camille Vasquez said her newfound fame is "overwhelming and surreal."
“And the fact that she is a woman of color is an added bonus.” Social media, especially TikTok, is at the core of Vasquez’s rising popularity. Fans were waiting outside for Vasquez and her man, who took selfies with onlookers.

“There is an abuser in this courtroom, but it is not Mr. Depp,” she said, going on to paint Heard as a liar and a manipulator, calling her a “deeply troubled person” and calling up the personality disorders she had been diagnosed with. She used visual evidence to show a lack of marks or bruises on Heard’s person, telling the jury that the evidence and the dates Heard had given didn’t match up. “You like to use drugs on special occasions, don’t you?” she asked Heard, going on to reference all the times Heard admitted to using drugs, including on her 30th birthday at Coachella. Somehow, when Vasquez reiterated Heard’s admissions, they came across in a most unfavorable way. But Vasquez did exactly that when cross-examining Heard, who had repeatedly denied leaking a video of a drunk and disorderly Depp trashing his kitchen to TMZ. “Another liar on the stand,” Vasquez said in response, sounding almost sad. That Heard had gotten her Aquaman role completely on her own was not exactly true, Depp said later in the proceedings. Closing arguments are one of the most important tools in a trial lawyer’s arsenal. “It’s been surreal, and if I’m honest, a bit overwhelming,” Vasquez told GMA‘s George Stephanopoulos of the newfound attention. Hopefully, I had curbed their worries to some degree.” During the closing arguments for Depp v. Heard testified, “I still fully intend on honoring all of my pledges. Meanwhile, Today‘s Savannah Guthrie told Vasquez, “I saw someone on social media get a tattoo of your face on your body, which is weird.” It’s all in the details, not the public statements.

“Vasquez is not exactly a rookie, but it’s unusual to have an associate taking charge in such a huge case. “But in reality, the decision to bring her in was taken way too late and there was no way she could have gotten up to speed in such a short space of time.” “For Depp’s loyal fans, these dramatic rituals will seem like validation.
