Odaily Planet Daily News Lisa R. Zornberg, an American lawyer representing Ripple Labs in a lawsuit against the US SEC, is applying to the court to withdraw from the lawsuit after being appointed as the chief legal counsel of New York State.
Ripple asked the court to grant Zornberg's request, as she will no longer have any relationship with the US law firm Debevoise & Plimpton LLP from July 31, 2023.
Ripple pointed out that other lawyers such as Andrew J. Ceresney, Erol N. Gulay and Christopher S. Ford of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP will continue to serve as legal representatives, and Zornberg's exit will neither affect them nor the interests of the company.
If the motion is granted, Zornberg would become the fourth attorney to withdraw as the case draws to a close. The court recently granted the withdrawal motions of attorneys Anna R. Gressel, Clayton J. Masterman, and Kylie Chiseul Kim, as they are no longer associated with the law firm representing Ripple. (Cryptopotato)
