Former Dewey & LeBoeuf partners have so far agreed to pay more than $70 million as part of a proposed settlement, far exceeding the $50 million that advisers to the bankrupt firm’s estate have said they required to seek court and creditor approval for the plan and repay a portion of Dewey’s substantial debts.
