More than a dozen attorneys and staff at Greenspoon Marder—and some former Dewey & LeBoeuf partners—are urging a Manhattan judge to show leniency at the sentencing of ex-Dewey chief financial officer Joel Sanders, who was convicted in May of defrauding the firm's creditors before its collapse.
After Dewey's 2012 bankruptcy, Sanders, 59, worked as chief operating officer and then as a consultant to firm operations at Florida-based Greenspoon Marder, an Am Law 200 firm that continues to employ him, according to Sanders' attorney, Andrew Frisch.
In a letter to the court, Greenspoon founder Michael Marder said Sanders has been “noting but forthright and honest” and “Greenspoon Marder will continue to stand behind him.” In a separate letter, Greenspoon general counsel Bruce Goorland said Sanders “enjoys the trust and confidence” of the firm's senior management.
