Defense attorneys for two ex-leaders of Dewey & LeBoeuf said in papers filed Friday that unless a trustee’s lawsuit against them is halted in bankruptcy court, they will be forced to depose prosecution witnesses from the criminal case against them.
Alan Jacobs, the liquidating trustee overseeing the defunct law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf, is seeking to recover more than $21.8 million from former CFO Joel Sanders and former executive director Stephen DiCarmine in a clawback lawsuit in Southern District Bankruptcy Court, Jacobs v. DiCarmine, 13-01765.
