The office front of Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP has been quiet lately, at least when it boils down to charges filed early this March against the now-defunct law firm’s leaders from prosecutors in Manhattan.
Last Friday afternoon, the office of attorney Cyrus Vance’s office filed a brief in the case that provided some details on the supposed role acted by Zachary Warren, a law school graduate and ex-Dewey relations manager, who was accused along with several others on taking part of a fraud scheme to cover up the law firm’s struggling finances.
Warren’s friends who held a low-level position with the firm at the time, and some experts have wondered whether he became a target of prosecutorial overreach.
The brief indicated that after several months he left the firm in 2009, Warren resumed pushing for more finances through bonuses he was promised if Dewey didn’t make bank covenant violations.
Warrant’s lawyers didn’t comment for requests last Friday afternoon. Warren earlier didn’t plead guilty.
