Former Dewey & LeBoeuf partner Henry Bunsow has accused the firm's leadership - including former chairman Steven Davis - of committing fraud by lying about the true state of the now-bankrupt firm's finances, reports The Am Law Daily.

A lot of the stuff inbetween was a blur, but I still remember that morning in the spring of 2007 sitting in a generic coffee shop in central London with our division's managing director, contemplating my new job as Legal Week's editor. In many ways, I should be thankful, I suppose, for what followed over the next five years.
