Legal Counsel and Associate
Alan Dershowitz, a prominent Harvard Law professor and attorney, had a well-documented relationship with Jeffrey Epstein spanning several years, primarily in legal, social, and professional contexts. Their connection began in the mid-1990s, with Dershowitz reportedly meeting Epstein through mutual social circles, including introductions by figures like Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild. Dershowitz became one of Epstein’s legal advisors during the 2006-2008 criminal investigation in Florida, playing a key role in negotiating the controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement that granted Epstein immunity from federal charges. Court documents from the Giuffre v. Maxwell case (unsealed in 2019 and 2024) mention Dershowitz over 100 times, often in relation to allegations by Virginia Giuffre, who claimed in a 2015 deposition that she was directed by Epstein to have sexual encounters with Dershowitz on multiple occasions between 2000 and 2002 at locations including Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion, New York residence, and private island, Little St. James. Dershowitz has vehemently denied these allegations, countersuing Giuffre for defamation in 2019; the case was settled in 2022 with Giuffre acknowledging she may have misidentified him. Flight logs from Epstein’s private jet, the 'Lolita Express,' confirm Dershowitz flew on the plane at least once, on a trip from Bedford, Massachusetts, to New York on October 24, 1998, as documented in logs released in 2021. Socially, they were photographed together at events, including a 2004 dinner at Harvard. Financially, no direct payments from Epstein to Dershowitz have been substantiated beyond legal fees for representation. Dershowitz has publicly described Epstein as a 'friend' in a 2019 interview with Axios, stating, 'I knew him well, I liked him,' while distancing himself from Epstein’s criminal behavior. Shared associates include lawyer David Boies, who represented Giuffre against Dershowitz. News investigations by outlets like the Miami Herald and The New York Times have extensively covered Dershowitz’s ties to Epstein, focusing on the legal immunity deal and Giuffre’s allegations.
