David Tresch, who until June served as Mayer Brown’s chief information officer, was arrested on Aug. 30 and charged by federal prosecutors in Chicago with defrauding the firm of at least $850,000 over the last year through a series of phony invoices for work supposedly performed by an unidentified vendor. The U.S. attorney’s office charged Tresch, 51, with one count of mail fraud, according to a statement.
Mayer Brown confirmed that Tresch worked for the firm until being terminated on June 28 following an internal probe, the results of which Mayer Brown referred to the U.S. attorney. Mayer Brown “will continue to cooperate with the U.S. attorney’s office in this matter but will have no further comment at this time in deference to the ongoing criminal investigation,” the firm said in its statement.
