Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison partner Bruce Birenboim, representing Davis Polk & Wardwell in ex-associate Kaloma Cardwell's retaliation suit against the firm, on Wednesday began his cross-examination of Cardwell by asking whether several Davis Polk partners have lied on the witness stand.

Birenboim sought to demonstrate to the jury that someone has not been telling the truth during Cardwell's three-week retaliation trial against his former employer—either the numerous Davis Polk staff members and partners who have already testified or Cardwell himself.
