Email evidence during the trial of three former Dewey & LeBoeuf executives shows there was infighting and a power struggle among members of the executive committee of legacy firm LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae in the months leading up to the firm’s ill-fated merger with Dewey Ballantine in 2007.

The emails were shown to the jury Tuesday during the testimony of John Schwolsky, a corporate partner who was a member of LeBoeuf Lamb’s executive committee. They made clear that Schwolsky and fellow executive committee member Alexander Dye were livid because they felt they were not consulted before a March 2007 executive committee meeting when former chairman Steven Davis was re-elected chairman of LeBoeuf Lamb.
