In a remarkable capitulation to claims that it backed a fraudulent lawsuit against Chevron Corporation, Patton Boggs agreed Wednesday to pay the oil giant $15 million and to give up its stake in a $9.5 billion environmental judgment. Patton Boggs’ erstwhile co-counsel, Steven Donziger, quickly lashed out at the deal, calling it a betrayal of the Ecuadorean villagers they jointly represented.
