Judge confirms criminal case against former Dewey bosses

A New York judge has dismissed charges of falsifying business records against former leaders at the bankrupt firm of Dewey & LeBoeuf but the cases against them proceed.

New York: proceedings

Justice Robert Stoltz had been asked to dismiss the cases altogether against the former Dewey chair Steven Davis, the former executive director Stephen DiCarmine and the former chief financial officer Joel Sanders. But the cases, minus the falsifying business records counts, will go ahead. The judge ordered that a case against a more junior employee - Zachary Warren, formerly client relations manager - be heard separately. Falsifying business records counts were also dropped against him. Dewey collapsed in 2012 and was the largest law firm bankruptcy ever. Source: ABA
