&lt;p&gt;Todd Leslie Treadway, a former associate of Dewey &amp;amp; LeBoeuf has been charged with insider trading. Treadway, who worked in Dewey&amp;rsquo;s Executive Compensation, Employee Benefits &amp;amp; Employment group, allegedly walked away with $27k after investing in two of Dewey&#39;s clients in 2007 and 2008. According to The National Law Journal:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The SEC said Treadway in June 2007 bought shares in Dewey client Accredited Home Lenders after reviewing a draft merger agreement for its acquisition by Lone Star Funds. Treadway bought the shares via his office computer three days before the deal was announced publicly, the complaint said. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Later, in May 2008, Treadway bought shares in Dewey client CNET before the announcement that CBS Corp. planned to buy it for $1.8 billion, the SEC said. After reviewing various documents in the deal, the agency alleged, Treadway bought CNET stock using four different online brokerage accounts eight days before the deal was announced.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After learning about the alleged insider trading in 2008, Dewey dismissed Treadway. According to the firm, &amp;ldquo;Dewey &amp;amp; LeBoeuf has policies concerning confidentiality and prohibiting insider trading, and the firm has cooperated fully with the SEC since the outset of its investigation.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;BigLaw hasn&amp;rsquo;t been immune from insider trading investigations. Other recent investigations include ones focusing on former Ropes &amp;amp; Gray associates Arthur Cutillo and Brien Santarlas and former Nixon Peabody associate Melissa Mahler.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The National Law Journal Source&lt;br&gt; WSJ Blog Source&lt;br&gt; Treadway Complaint&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOLLOW VAULT LAW ON TWITTER! @VaultLaw&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
