Two leading law firms, Dentons US LLP and Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, are under scrutiny by a former client who alleges that they engaged in racketeering and fraud in relation to a power deal in Senegal. The accusations come from plaintiff Frank Corsini and his corporations Liberty-Citic Energy Cayman Ltd. and Liberty Eco Energy LLC.
The law firms, initially Dentons and later Boies Schiller, represented the plaintiff in an agreement with a state-owned Senegalese power supply entity. As per the claims, both the law firms failed to inform the client that the agreement would never be effective unless approved by the entity’s board.
The complaint against these law firms was filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. Although the parties involved commented on the matter, the complete details regarding this allegation have not been made public.
