Before Dewey & LeBoeuf, there was the fall of Finley, Kumble, Wagner, Underberg, Manley, Myerson & Casey, a landmark legal collapse memorialized by The American Lawyer in 1987.
While New York prosecutors failed last month to convict three former Dewey & LeBoeuf executives in the wake of that firm’s demise, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn successfully tried Finley Kumble’s former managing partner, Harvey Myerson, for fraudulently overbilling clients and another firm he formed after Finley Kumble’s dissolution.
