SAN FRANCISCO — U.S. District Judge Edward Chen won’t let fallen executive recruiter David Nosal off the hook for paying his ex-employer’s legal bills.
Although Chen did not order a specific amount in restitution, he said at a hearing on Wednesday that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has made clear that corporations may recover attorney fees incurred in connection with criminal investigations. Federal prosecutors want Nosal to pay $948,703 to cover his former employer Korn/Ferry’s legal bill to O’Melveny & Myers, on top of other expenses for a total of $1.35 million in restitution.
