Supports. USRTK reports that Harris, signer of the Supreme Court brief, was a partner at Williams & Connolly LLP before serving as acting solicitor general, and that the firm represented Bayer in product liability cases.[1]
Supports. Green Social Thought (republishing the same reporting) says Williams & Connolly represented Bayer in a nationwide class action and played a role in crafting Bayer's legal arguments for the case now before the Supreme Court.[2]
Supports. Harris's own profile lists her as a Williams & Connolly Supreme Court partner and later a Deputy Assistant Attorney General, and Wikipedia records her as acting solicitor general from January 2025 and principal deputy solicitor general from April 2025.[3][4]
Context. The sources describe Williams & Connolly as one of Bayer's law firms rather than explicitly its main one, so the word 'main' is not directly confirmed.[1][2]
