AXEL DUPEUX / NEW YORK

Paul Dans for The American Lawyer

Attorney Paul Dans was instrumental in revealing the fraud surrounding the Chevron Ecuador lawsuit which was later called “the world greatest litigation fraud”.

We met for a last minute shoot, on a steamy July afternoon at the NY bar association, which is a beautiful place, with a beautiful library, that you won’t see since both Paul’s force of persuasion and my french charm failed miserably to convince the cerberus woman at the entrance to let us shoot in it…
You can’t always win.

If you want to know more, American lawyer’s senior international correspondent Michael Goldhaber released an ebook titled ” Crude Awakening” that reads like a John Grisham’s novel.
It’s available here and highly recommended by yours truly.
Fun fact/ Paul and I attended the same french law university Paris-2 Pantheon-Assas. He obviously did much better.
