Bois Schiller Flexner, the law firm David Boies founded, announced the hiring of Margaux Poueymirou as a partner in its San Francisco office.
Poueymirou was working for the Joseph Saveri Law Firm on the same case the Boies firm took over as lead counsel, Kadrey v. Meta.
From the snippets of deposition testimony available, Poueymirou appeared to play a key role in the depositions that uncovered Meta’s apparent involvement in “seeding” of torrents of copies of books from shadow libraries.
From the Boies’ firm’s press release:
Margaux is an experienced litigator who has represented plaintiffs and defendants in complex litigation disputes involving antitrust, intellectual property, and AI issues. Her work on cases over the use of copyrighted works to train generative AI models has given her a deep understanding of the technical aspects of how AI platforms are developed.
“We’ve known Margaux for several years and have had the opportunity to see her talent first-hand. It’s clear she brings a trial lawyer’s mentality and tenacity in representing clients in complex, high-stakes litigation in the technology sector,” said San Francisco office leader Maxwell Pritt, who heads the firm’s work in Kadrey v. Meta Platforms, Tremblay v. OpenAI, and Doe v. GitHub with Margaux. “She’ll be an excellent addition to our San Francisco office, and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her and the rest of the attorney team, along with our co-counsel, on these cutting-edge cases.”
Congrats to Poueymirou on her new position.

She landed the Boies firm a solid “gotcha!” on matters unrelated to the actual AI argument, and this is her reward. Well done.
