Fredericksen Quoted on Deferred-Prosecution Agreements

Partner Scott Fredericksen was quoted in an article that appeared in Reuters on March 5, 2013 titled “Swiss bank Wegelin to pay $58 mln in U.S. tax evasion case.” Fredericksen discussed the increasing number of deferred-prosecution agreements following the indictment of accounting firm Arthur Andersen, describing the agreements as “death sentences” for large companies facing indictment.
