Former Dewey & LeBoeuf chairman Steven Davis has signed a deferred prosecution agreement in which he has agreed not to practice law for five years in New York and has been suspended from practice before the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Meanwhile, former Dewey executive director Stephen DiCarmine and chief financial officer Joel Sanders are scheduled to be retried on Sept. 12, after apparently rejecting plea offers by prosecutors.

More than two months after a mistrial was declared in the fraud trial against the three Dewey executives, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office announced the signed deferred prosecution agreement with Davis in court Friday. The agreement will allow Davis, who is unemployed, to escape a retrial and have his charges dismissed after five years.
