In an effort to rid itself of hundreds of thousands of boxes of files, Dewey & LeBoeuf is asking a bankruptcy court judge to consider a plan that would give the defunct firm’s former clients 45 days to claim the documents before Dewey disposes of them “in the manner it deems fit.”
In a motion filed Friday, which proposes that the firm’s former clients be notified about retrieving their files via mail, Dewey advisers ask that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn rule on the request at a hearing scheduled for July 9.
