Law's Anat Alon-Beck and Eric Chaffee weigh in on FirstEnergy charges

FirstEnergy likely paying millions in legal fees for former executives

Akron Beacon Journal: Anat Alon-Beck, professor of law, and Eric Chaffee, the John C. Hutchins Professor of Law, said FirstEnergy is still likely paying millions in legal fees for ex-executives—even as they face bribery charges. Alon-Beck called it a “mega-case,” estimating costs from $5 million to $60 million, citing steep hourly rates; Chaffee noted that white-collar defense can reach tens of millions, especially with multiple defendants and proceedings.
