Alex Spiro, an American attorney who counts celebrities like Naomi Osaka and Jay-Z as clients, is now one of the key actors in Elon Musk’s revamp of Twitter. Musk hired Spiro to represent Twitter in a lawsuit against the company.
According to The Washington Post, after having represented Musk for a significant amount of time, he is now working alongside the billionaire at his most recent acquisition, where he is reportedly leading discussions over employment layoffs and generally supervising the legal, trust and safety departments.
Twitter has terminated the employment of around half of its global workforce, a complicated process that required the company to send out termination notices that complied with the legal requirements of each country.
Spiro was also at the heart of the legal battle between Musk and Twitter, which was begun by the former trying to back out of buying the social network for $44 billion. Spiro represented both parties in the dispute.
According to Bloomberg, Musk expressed a desire to have “street fighters” serve as his legal representation. Spiro has a reputation for being outspoken and sparring with other litigators; this aligns nicely with Musk’s desire.
He is a partner at Quinn Emanuel, which is one of the largest legal firms in the world and specialises in the litigation and arbitration of corporate disputes.
Individually, Spiro has represented clients in a diverse array of legal matters, including those about finance, intellectual property, stocks, bankruptcy, and even defamation.

He is the same attorney who defended Musk in a defamation complaint that was brought against him in 2018 by a diver who participated in the rescue of children who were trapped in a cave in Thailand.
In addition to that, he has taught at Harvard Law School, which is also his alma mater, and he is currently on the boards of directors of several different organisations, both public and private. Spiro’s academic history includes his time spent studying psychology at Tufts University and law at Harvard University.
