Partner Barak Cohen was quoted in a CBC article, "Analysis :Trump Jr.'s Emails: A 'Nothingburger' With a Juicy Side of Criminal Exposure," regarding the potential legal ramifications caused by the disclosed emails.

"If I was his lawyer, I'm not sure I would advise disclosing that," said Barak Cohen, another former federal corruption prosecutor now with the Washington law firm Perkins Coie.

"He's potentially opening himself for liability," Cohen said, noting that the emails also loop in then-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort as well as Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who attended the gathering at Trump Tower. Their names are now linked in a paper trail to the scandal as well.
