Former Dechert Counsel Subpoenaed in U.S. Over Alleged Torture Case in UAE

In a recent legal development, former Dechert General Counsel Arthur Newbold is facing a subpoena in the United States connected to claims of torture and hacking made by Karam Al Sadeq. The subpoena stems from an application filed by Stokoe Partnership Solicitors in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of Al Sadeq. This filing seeks to require Newbold to provide documents and give a deposition. The allegations suggest that Newbold may have been aware of Dechert’s involvement in the detention and mistreatment of a Jordanian national in the United Arab Emirates.
