Former Diamond McCarthy partner Sheila Gowan agreed to pay the firm $700,000 to resolve its lawsuit over the trustee fee she received in the Dreier bankruptcy, said Gowan’s attorney, George Gibson.
Gowan was a nonequity partner at Diamond McCarthy from April 2008 to February 2013. In late 2008, she was appointed Chapter 11 trustee of defunct law firm Dreier LLP in Southern District bankruptcy court, a position she continued to hold after leaving Diamond in 2013. She was awarded about $1.4 million in fees in June 2014.
