Nearly three years after the demise of law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf, three of its former top executives will go on trial on charges they cooked the books in an attempt to stave off the largest law firm collapse in U.S. history, Reuters reported today. Opening statements are expected to begin today in Manhattan state court in the criminal case against former Dewey & LeBoeuf chairman Steven Davis; ex-executive director Stephen DiCarmine, and ex-chief financial official Joel Sanders. The men face grand larceny, falsifying business records and other charges. They have pleaded not guilty.
