A former structured finance partner at Dewey & LeBoeuf said he left the firm in late 2010 with a group of other attorneys because he was not paid what he was promised and only learned of Dewey’s 2010 debt offering to investors through a client.
“At that point, I realized the firm was in significant financial distress and it was not a place where I wanted to have my practice,” said Howard Schickler, testifying Tuesday in the criminal trial against Dewey’s former chair Steven Davis, former chief financial officer Joel Sanders and former executive director Stephen DiCarmine.
