Shapiro Arato Bach Attorneys Named Law360’s “Legal Lions of the Week” For Role in Sean Combs Trial Defense
On July 3, 2025, the firm and attorneys Alexandra Shapiro and Jason Driscoll were named to Law360’s list of “Legal Lions of the Week,” along with the other members of Mr. Combs’s star-studded defense team, led by Marc Agnifilo. According to the publication, we “make this week’s list after a Manhattan federal jury on Wednesday cleared Sean “Diddy” Combs on prosecutors’ top racketeering and sex-trafficking charges, which could have sent him to prison for decades. The jury of eight men and four women convicted Combs on charges of transporting two former girlfriends for prostitution, following deliberations over three days in a trial that generated headlines around the world.”
Alexandra and Jason led the defense’s teams efforts on briefing and arguing legal issues during the trial and filed numerous pre-trial motions as well. In addition, partner Jonathan Bach cross-examined the government’s psychological abuse expert, Dr. Dawn Hughes. The article can be found here.
