An internal memorandum is said to say that Mr Coleman fell from the office building in Washington, DC. He had joined the firm six years ago, having been at the now-defunct Dewey & LeBoeuf. His biography on the Freshfields site says: 'Tim handles government investigations and related litigation, drawing on his experience as a courtroom advocate who has handled many jury trials and appellate arguments, a US Justice Department prosecutor, and a foreign exchange trader.'
Profound loss
Freshfields posted this message on its site: 'It is with deep sadness we report that our colleague and friend Tim Coleman passed away today in Washington, DC. Tim’s enthusiasm for his family and friends touched everyone around him. His death is a profound loss to all of us personally and to Freshfields. We will do all we can to support his wife and family, who are very much in our thoughts and prayers.'
