"Examiner Unveils Lehman Accounting Tricks," Associated Press

March 12, 2010
Peter Haveles, Co-Chair of the Complex Commercial Litigation Department, is quoted in the article “Examiner Unveils Lehman Accounting Tricks,” which appeared in the Associated Press on March 12, 2010. The article discusses the 2,200-page report by Anton Valukas, who was appointed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to investigate the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Mr. Haveles comments on the report being used as a road map by the Justice Department and the SEC. “The Justice Department and the SEC ‘have the benefit of a very substantive and comprehensive investigation,’” Mr. Haveles said. “It greatly facilitates the efforts of each of those agencies to evaluate and determine whether to bring charges.”
