Matt Hutchins joined Latham as an associate this year. Earlier he was an in-house lawyer at an entertainment company and practiced at Kirkland & Ellis and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Hutchins told news outlets Friday that he had spoken with Baldwin and said the actor was supportive. He could not be immediately reached for comment. A Latham spokesperson declined to comment.
Halyna Hutchins was killed when Baldwin discharged a prop firearm on the set of his Western movie "Rust" in New Mexico. The Santa Fe Sheriff's Department said it is investigating the incident, which also left the film's director, Joel Souza, injured.
Baldwin posted on social media Friday that he was in shock, writing, "My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna."
Hutchins, 42, who was originally from Ukraine and grew up on a Soviet military base in the Arctic Circle, once worked as an investigative reporter in Europe, according to her website.

Oh, boy...
Await reckless Baldwin’s gun grabbing demands.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
alec wont be able to afford another kid.
Next: Halyna Hutchins was saying to friends at lunch “I have the documents and I can go to the authorities and testify that Hunter and his father were into this crime. It’s going to bring them down.”
Also a tabloid will report:
Hillary Clinton, a top celebrity icon herself, seemed stage struck as she gushed over having lunch with stars including Alec Baldwin. She and two “old friends” in black suits and sunglasses discussed something in hushed tones with the former Secretary of State. Maybe just asking autographs for grandkids?
Axcompanied by rivers of crocodile tears.
🤣
Or ban ammo demands. From what I heard people left the set due to safety concerns. Considering Baldwins gargantuan ego and the fact that he was the producer of that movie and therefore responsible for everything, I get the sense that another episode of “the liberal who knew everything” was going on there which always results in a massive disaster
AB needs to be LOCKED UP!, for a decade or better.
Just for this transgression against humanity.
Futhur incarceration to follow for other, multiple transgressions against humanity.
Really? Do you remember specific safety concerns?
It sounds like gun handling was sloppy.
Well, yes. I mean he was not able to afford real special effects and firearms coordinators. So, shoot the film on a shoestring, get very poor results.
Imagine how many films he has been in with simulated guns. Is he going to testify at his manslaughter trial that he never heard the adage “never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot”?
I am very sorry this happened, I love cinematography and by extension cinematographers. But if it had to happen, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy than Alec Baldwin.
Wow, this looks like it was her first major motion picture. And now it’s over thanks to one of the biggest d-bags in Hollywood......

Hey Alec, it’s a phenomenon called the Trump effect. It’s real. It’s something you’ll have to live with the rest of your pathetic life.
Yes it was sloppy which is why people walked off the set. If they had concerns about safety, why wasn’t it addressed? Baldwin is the producer, he’s in charge. But like I said, his fat ego and “I know everything” attitude brushed their concerns aside.
A lawyer whose firm represented Hillary Clinton's campaign during the 2016 presidential election was indicted Thursday by special counsel John Durham on a single charge of making a false statement to the FBI.
Michael Sussmann, an attorney for the Perkins Coie law firm who previously represented the Democratic National Committee following the hacking of its servers by Russia during the 2016 campaign, is accused of lying "about the capacity in which he was providing allegations to the FBI" when he met with a top lawyer from the bureau in September 2016 and provided him information about potential ties between a Russian bank and computer servers in the Trump Organization.
"Specifically, SUSSMANN state falsely that he was not doing his work on the aforementioned allegations "for any client," which led the FBI General Counsel (James A. Baker) to understand that SUSSMANN was acting as a good citizen merely passing along information, not as a paid advocate or political operative," prosecutors write in the indictment.
They allege instead that Sussmamn intentionally misled the FBI general counsel because he was acting at the time on behalf of an unnamed tech executive, an "U.S. internet company" and Hillary Clinton's Presidential Campaign.
Prior to his indictment Thursday, Sussmann's attorneys provided a statement to ABC News maintaining his innocence.
"Mr. Sussmann has committed no crime," attorneys Sean Berkowitz and Michael Bosworth of the law firm Latham and Watkins said. "Any prosecution here would be baseless, unprecedented, and an unwarranted deviation from the apolitical and principled way in which the Department of Justice is supposed to do its work."

yup
hes worked with prop guns and blanks for decades
hes been given the safety talks for every movie he’s used guns in, starting from the hunt for red october in 1990
he can’t claim to be ignorant
Looks like we’ll need new gun legislation preventing liberals from having or handling guns.
Imagine Joe B with a gun
“Big Ideas,Little Man.”
.
I’m dealing with one now.
.
HollyWierd and “TV” need to totally eschew gun play on screen.
Let their ca$h flow suck; forever.
Baldwin was supportive. Geez...I just killed your wife, would you like a shoulder to cry on?
