It was his stepfather, Samuel Pisar, who was Maxwell's lawyer.

Mentioned in the following article as being Maxwell's friend and French advocat. https://archive.vanityfair.com/article/share/772fa3a5-0e89-4442-9c1f-3e0dbe42f349?itm_content=footer-recirc

The name of the article is How Tony Blinken’s Stepfather Changed the World—and Him https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/01/19/samuel-pisar-tony-blinken-secretary-of-state-460155

Extra information I posted on reddit a few minutes ago.

His bio father was Donald Blinken, an investment banker and Clinton's Ambassador to Hungary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_M._Blinken

fwiw, according to the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Pisar#Private_life_and_honors Anthony Blinken has a half-sister (daughter of Pisar and Anthony's mother) named Leah who worked in the White House for Clinton. https://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/obituary-samuel-pisar-lawyer-and-holocaust-survivor-1498741

When Biden appointed her to the Appointees for the United States Holocaust Memorial Council last year, her biography says, "[S]he held several positions in the Clinton administration: At the White House as Director for communications at the National Security Council, at the U.S. Department of State in the Bureau of Public Affairs, and at the U.S. Embassy in Paris as Speechwriter to Ambassador Pamela Harriman. Dr. Pisar holds a BA from Harvard College, a Masters from the Institut d’Etudes Politiques of Paris and a PhD from the University of Paris.

Robert Maxwell also spied for the CIA, MI6 and the KGB.

Why leave them out?
