Who would want James V. Derrick Jr.’s job now? The embattled general counsel at bankrupt Enron Corp. faces inquiries from congressional investigators, plaintiffs lawyers and federal prosecutors. A mob of reporters hangs outside the door of the bankrupt company’s headquarters in downtown Houston waiting for the day’s dose of bad news.
Despite the troubles, Mark Haedicke, managing director and general counsel of Enron subsidiary Enron North America Corp., allegedly encouraged rumors in January that he would replace Derrick, according to five Enron in-house lawyers and three outside lawyers.
