Latham & Watkins now clears the durable-entity threshold in the Jessica Killin donor-employer slice because the repo preserves the strongest BigLaw donor cluster in her campaign finance, Killin's own earlier employment at the firm, direct stablecoin and digital-assets practice positioning, and a firm-claimed Coinbase or USDC representation link.
In the current repository, Latham matters as more than a generic employer string. The BigLaw summary preserves 11 retained non-memo individual donor rows from 7 donors totaling $26,000 between 2025-07-08 and 2025-12-31, making Latham the strongest law-firm employer cluster in Killin's donor base. Separately, Killin's resume and an earlier Politico item place her at Latham & Watkins before her move into USAA. Latham's public materials now add a dedicated Digital Assets & Web3 practice page that explicitly mentions compliant stablecoins, custody, licensing, and regulator engagement; a March 11, 2026 client alert on the OCC proposal implementing the GENIUS Act; and a transaction page saying the firm represented Coinbase in the USDC relationship transactions with Circle.
