Defendant
U.S. v. Arthur Anderson
Member of multi-firm defense team involved in internal investigation, federal criminal investigation, and trial of Arthur Andersen LLP for destroying documents related to Enron pursuant to a records retention policy. A jury found against Arthur Andersen after a six-week trial and ten days of deliberations, but the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously overturned the conviction because the trail judge did not instruct the jury to require conscious wrongdoing, which the defense team consistently argued did not exist.
