David Tresch, who until June served as Mayer Brown’s chief information officer, has been charged by federal prosecutors in Chicago with defrauding the Am Law 100 firm of at least $850,000 through a series of phony invoices for work supposedly performed by a vendor.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago charged Tresch with one count of mail fraud, according to a statement detailing the charges against him. Tresch, 51, is accused of approving payments to the vendor and pocketing “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in illicit proceeds.
