As Dewey & LeBoeuf leaders mull bankruptcy options, a large group of former partners already is organizing and retaining lawyers in anticipation of the proceedings. More than 50 former partners, organized by an informal steering committee, are expected to retain Mark Zauderer, a partner at Flemming Zulack Williamson Zauderer. When reached for comment yesterday, Zauderer confirmed his expected representation.

Partners are seeking representation for defense in so-called clawback attempts should the firm seek money from ex-partners and representation for possible claims against the firm and its leaders over compensation they could be owed. Zauderer declined to comment on the specific nature of possible claims.
