The law firm of Brown Rudnick announced Tuesday that the attorney who represented Johnny Depp in his defamation trial has been promoted to partner.

We usually announce this at the end of our fiscal year. William Baldiga, chairman and CEO of Brown Rudnick, said in a press release that Camille's performance during the Johnny Depp trial proved that she was ready to take this next step now.

Her questioning style in the trial was reserved and aggressive. She helped him through his testimony on the witness stand. In the final days of the trial, Heard was asked if she was a liar and if she had invented scenarios where she said she was attacked. In closing arguments, Heard was told to lie to the jury.

The scenes went public on social networking sites. The jury's verdict was heavily in favor of the actor.

During the trial, Benjamin Chew, a partner at Brown Rudnick's Washington, DC office, worked with the other side of the case. Former colleagues described him to Insider as having a soft-spoken style. One of them brought an animal with them to pose for pictures with the fans.

Brown Rudnick may be able to keep her on the staff by promoting her quickly. According to the New York Post, other firms are interested in her. She has become a celebrity of her own, with fans cheering her and her boyfriend, Edward Owen, on their way to the airport.
