Movers, Shakers & Rainmakers


Jan 19, 2023

Movers, Shakers & Rainmakers is back with our first episode of 2023! This week, our hosts were joined by one of the most impactful guests we've ever had on the show. Layli Miller-Muro, former Biglaw and Department of Justice attorney, founded and led the Tahirih Justice Center for over twenty-five years. In this episode, Layli discusses how some especially impactful pro bono work led to a mission of advocating for women fleeing gender-based asylum and seeking asylum in the United States. Layli describes working with members of Congress on both sides of the aisle, as well as countless attorneys, to assist well over 30,000 women. Finally, Layli digs into the consulting works she has now undertaken in her new professional venture, and her mission to bring ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) initiatives to fruition within corporations and firms. For their moves of the week, Zach highlights a major infrastructure hire by Paul Hastings in London and David discusses a prominent addition by Paul Weiss.
