Janel Grant, the former World Wrestling Entertainment employee suing Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis and WWE in federal civil court, has hired an additional representation firm.

In a press release first published on Twitter by Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, SKDK (also known as SKDKnickerbocker) announced it would join Grant’s representation team. The Agency Group, which has represented Grant since she filed her federal suit, will also continue working with Grant.

The firm has worked with victims in other high-profile sex assault cases, including Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein. Most of its work has been with Democratic party politicians.

The firm said in the announcement it would begin working for Grant ahead of the Vince McMahon documentary scheduled to debut on Netflix on Sept. 25.

When asked if Grant or a member of her team would now participate in the documentary, one of her representatives said no and provided a statement from the documentary’s announcement, stating Netflix approached Grant for an interview but wasn’t taking part.

SKDK’s managing director, Kendra Barkoff Lamy, was the former spokesperson for Joe Biden when he served as Vice President under Barack Obama.

“SKDK has a proven track record of uplifting survivors of sexual violence and human trafficking,”
attorney Ann Callis said in the statement. “We look forward to our partnership in seeking justice for our client Janel Grant.”

Grant’s civil case was paused at the request of district attorneys in federal court earlier this year. A Wall Street Journal report earlier this year said Vince McMahon was being investigated by a federal grand jury for rape, sex assault and other crimes.
