NY Times biz investigations editor signs deal for book on law firms

David Enrich

New York Times business investigations editor David Enrich has signed a deal to write a book about powerful law firms.

The book, currently untitled, will include a narrative arc about Jones Day and lawyers for Donald Trump. It will be published by William Morrow, an imprint of Harper Collins.

“The book is likely to come out in early 2023 and the reporting so far has been really fascinating,” said Enrich in a message.

Enrich is the author of “Dark Towers” about Deutsche Bank and Donald Trump.

Enrich previously was finance editor at The Times. Before joining The Times, he was a reporter and editor at The Wall Street Journal in New York and London. His first book, “The Spider Network,” is about the mildly autistic man at the center of a vast financial scandal.
