An insurance company that saw its case against three former Dewey & LeBoeuf leaders stayed pending the outcome of a criminal case is now shifting its attention to two other executives.
Aviva Life and Annuity Co. alleges that Dewey’s former chief operating officer, Dennis D’Alessandro, and a former member of its executive committee, Richard Shutran, disseminated information that was “materially false and misleading” when the now-defunct law firm sold the insurance company $35 million in secured notes in 2010, according to a 52-page complaint filed on Friday in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Iowa.
