Two former Dewey & LeBoeuf leaders say they should not have to return as much as $21.8 million that the firm paid them in the years leading up to its bankruptcy, arguing they provided years of value while working there.
Former executive director Stephen DiCarmine and chief financial officer Joel Sanders also argued that the Dewey trustee’s complaint against them in Southern District Bankruptcy Court is “squarely at odds” with previous statements by the Dewey estate about the date of the firm’s insolvency.
