Justin Baldoni is adding a new member of his legal team.
The 41-year-old actor and director has been embroiled in a well-publicized lawsuit with Blake Lively for nearly the past year, and he has reportedly hired Alexandra A.E. Shapiro, who is a high-profile attorney having represented Sean “Diddy” Combs, according to People.

Per the outlet, Alexandra filed a notice of appearance last week, noting formally that she has joined Justin‘s legal team, alongside Bryan Freedman and more.
Alexandra started her career under Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as one of her first clerks on the Supreme Court, and has gone on to open her own firm in NYC. She has taken part in several high-profile cases, most recently Diddy‘s sex trafficking trial.
The new addition to Justin‘s legal team comes after the most recent news of a judge deciding that Taylor Swift will not be deposed in the case.
Earlier this month, Blake filed a motion for Justin to pay millions to her for the lawsuit.
