The Dechert partner embroiled in a long-running controversy related to the U.K.-based international mining company ENRC has been accused of conspiring to damage the reputation of a businessman, in a second high-profile dispute.

According to documents filed at London’s High Court, Dechert’s head of white-collar crime Neil Gerrard is alleged to have conspired with a sovereign wealth fund client to “damage” a businessman’s reputation in the event he did not assist in settling a corruption dispute.
