Mayer Brown in Crosshairs for Legal Work on Refco
Joseph Collins, Refco's principal outside lawyer for more than 10 years, was the fifth person charged with Refco crimes, but the only one who wasn't a company insider. Charged with securities fraud, bank fraud and related charges, he faces a sentence of up to 30 years if found guilty. In a decade that's seen waves of corporate scandals -- Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, Adelphia and Global Crossing -- Collins stands alone as the only outside lawyer to be indicted. Why him?

Williams & Connolly's Villa Wins Another Refco Dismissal for Mayer Brown
Publication Date: 2009-08-27 Practice Area: Industry: Court: Judge: Case number:
It certainly wasn't good news for Mayer Brown when partner Joseph Collins was convicted in July of conspiracy, securities fraud, and wire fraud arising from his work as an outside lawyer for the fraudulent brokerage firm Refco Inc. But, as far as the firm is concerned, things could be worse. So far, Mayer Brown has succeeded in beating back nearly every attempt to hold it liable in civil suits for the damage caused by Refco's collapse in 2005. In the latest victory, a federal judge this week dismissed a suit brought on behalf of some of Refco's former brokerage customers who claimed to have lost more than a half billion dollars.
