High-profile attorney and founding partner of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP who represented Virginia Giuffre and dozens of other Jeffrey Epstein survivors. His firm served as lead counsel in the litigation against Ghislaine Maxwell, and attorneys at BSF won a 2020 court order to unseal Maxwell deposition transcripts, which directly contributed to her subsequent criminal indictment and conviction. Boies and co-counsel Sigrid McCawley obtained a 290 million dollar settlement from JPMorgan Chase in 2023, resolving claims that the bank knowingly maintained Epstein as a client and enabled his sex trafficking operations over more than a decade.
A parallel case against Deutsche Bank yielded a 75 million dollar settlement the same year. Judge Jed Rakoff granted final approval of the JPMorgan settlement and approved a 30 percent fee award of approximately 87 million dollars to BSF and co-counsel. In the January 2026 DOJ document release, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed the release of several hundred thousand documents including photographs and investigative materials.
Boies firm has faced scrutiny from opposing counsel in some Epstein-adjacent matters over alleged use of liability releases, with a sanctions motion raising claims that the firm improperly invoked the Epstein name in unrelated settlement disputes. Virginia Giuffre, his client in the Andrew civil case, died by suicide in April 2025.
