Administrators of Dewey & LeBoeuf’s UK limited liability partnership (LLP) have proposed moving the business, which comprises the defunct US law firm’s London and Paris arms, from administration into liquidation as many unsecured creditors, owed a total of £5.2m, look set to lose out.

BDO’s statement of administrator’s proposals, filed on Companies House last week (27 July), shows the LLP has received £4.2m in unsecured creditor claims, with its associated services arm receiving claims totalling £1m.
