Dewey & LeBoeuf yesterday proposed a $104 million deal to recoup money from former partners who left the law firm as it teetered on collapse, Reuters reported yesterday. The proposed deal would cover clawback claims the estate has against hundreds of Dewey's former partners. The firm is seeking to clawback money paid out since the start of 2011. If partners accept the deal, it would provide the first big recovery for Dewey's creditors, who are owed $315 million stemming from the firm's bankruptcy filing in May.
