Camille Vasquez, the California lawyer who helped actor Johnny Depp win US$15mil in his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, is getting a promotion.

Law firm Brown Rudnick has elevated Vasquez to partner, the firm said Tuesday (June 7). The announcement comes less than a week after a Virginia jury returned a verdict for Depp in the high profile lawsuit.
