Loretta Lynch, the former U.S. attorney general appointed by President Obama, has been hired by the NFL to defend the shield against the Brian Flores discrimination lawsuit, according to reports.

It will be Lynch, who is a partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, who will partner up with the law firm’s chairman, Brad Karp, to battle against Flores’ legal team, Bloomberg reported Wednesday night.

In his lawsuit against the NFL, Flores is accusing the organization of pervasive racial bias and has named three teams — the Broncos, Dolphins and New York Giants — as defendants.
