Timeline

1950

Theodore Von Wells, Jr. (born April 28, 1950) is an American lawyer who works in the field of criminal law.

He is a litigation partner at the New York law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison and one of twelve fellows of the Harvard Corporation, the primary governing board of Harvard University.

He was previously a chairman of the NAACP.

Wells is known for his representation of public and political figures, including Dick Cheney aide Scooter Libby, financier Michael Milken, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Mike Espy, tobacco company Philip Morris International, and New York governor Eliot Spitzer.

Wells was born in Washington, D.C., on April 28, 1950, and grew up in a rowhouse.

His mother, who was known as "Ma Wells", was a mail clerk at the U.S. Department of the Navy and his father was a taxi-driver.

His parents separated when he was young; he was raised by his mother.

Wells attended Calvin Coolidge High School in Washington, D.C., where he played football as a center.

He performed well academically and received multiple athletic scholarships to college, eventually choosing to attend the College of the Holy Cross.

At Holy Cross, Wells was mentored by John E. Brooks, the college's president, and Edward Bennett Williams.

1971

Wells married his high school girlfriend, Nina Mitchell, in 1971.

He and his wife reside in Livingston, New Jersey.

1972

He became the head of the Black Student Union and graduated in 1972.

Wells attended Holy Cross at the same time as future Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Both participated in a walkout based on their beliefs of unfair racially motivated practices on the part of the college.

1976

After graduating, Wells dual enrolled at Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School, obtaining both a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) and Juris Doctor (J.D.) in 1976.

From August 1976 to August 1977, Wells was a law clerk for Judge John Joseph Gibbons of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

He was Gibbons' second black clerk.

2007

Wells represented Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Jr., who was convicted on March 6, 2007, in the CIA leak grand jury investigation for perjury, obstruction of justice, and lying to the FBI.

Wells filed an appeal of Libby's convictions, but dropped the appeal in December 2007 after President Bush commuted Libby's 30-month prison sentence.

Some of Wells' more notable clients include Michael Espy, Senator Robert Torricelli, and Congressman Floyd Flake.

He represented former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer against allegations stemming from his alleged involvement in a prostitution ring.

2008

In 2008 Wells won a $364.2 million verdict for Citigroup in a trial against Parmalat.

Parmalat had been asking for $2 billion in damages.

The jury found that Citi was not liable, and gave Citi the highest verdict award permissible.

Wells also has represented several major corporations during class action lawsuits including Merck, Philip Morris, and Johnson and Johnson.

2013

In November 2013, the National Football League hired Wells to prepare a report on a bullying incident with the Miami Dolphins involving Richie Incognito.

2014

The report, released on February 14, 2014, made headlines for its finding of "a pattern of harassment".

Wells also served as the national Treasurer to Democrat Bill Bradley's presidential campaign.

2015

In 2015, Ted Wells was again hired by the NFL, this time to investigate the New England Patriots' alleged "Deflategate" infractions.

His report concluded that it was "more probable than not" that Tom Brady was "generally aware" of tampering with NFL game footballs during the 2015 AFC Championship Game.

Ted Wells's independence and impartiality has been called into question in the wake of the report because of his extensive prior business relations with the NFL, his use of a scientific consultancy with a reputation for questionable client-serving results, and because of his track-record of success exculpating high-profile clients and corporations during public scandals.

2016

Eventually, Judge Richard Berman overturned Tom Brady's suspension in the Deflategate saga that had been based on Wells's report; however the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated it in 2016.

Wells was selected by the National Law Journal as one of America's best white-collar defense attorneys.

2019

In 2019, Wells represented ExxonMobil in People of the State of New York v. Exxon Mobil Corp., a suit alleging that the company misled the company's investors about management of risks posed by climate change.

2020

He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2020 and serves as a fellow at the Harvard Corporation.
