Emails entered into evidence during the criminal trial of three former Dewey & LeBoeuf executives reveal that there was infighting and a struggle for power among members of the executive committee at legacy firm LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae in the months leading up to the firm’s ill-fated merger with Dewey Ballantine in 2007.
