Former BDO CEO and Wolfpack leader Denis Field received some bad news in his quest to get BDO to pay his hefty legal bills:
A panel unanimously affirmed rulings by Justices Saliann Scarpulla and Barbara Kapnick in Matter of Denis M. Field v. BDO USA, 600010/12, refusing to grant motions by Denis Field, former CEO of BDO Seidman, to vacate an arbitrator's decision denying him attorneys fees he claimed he was owed by the tax and accounting firm.
"Field has failed to meet his heavy burden of establishing that the arbitration award should be vacated on the basis of fraud," said the panel, which consisted of Justices Angela Mazzarelli, John Sweeny Jr., Judith Gische and Darcel Clark.
