Washington, Perito & Dubuc

Last updated

Washington, Perito & Dubuc was a United States law firm founded in 1987 as Laxalt, Washington, Perito & Dubuc. It was described by Paul Laxalt in 1987 as "essentially the Washington office" of Finley, Kumble, Wagner, Underberg, Manley, Myerson & Casey, a law firm that went bankrupt that year with substantial debt. [1] [2] Washington, Perito & Dubuc disbanded in August 1991, [3] [4] having lost nearly half its 110 lawyers since fall 1990, hit by the recession. [5] Laxalt had left the company in January 1990 after the firm took on the government of Angola as a client. [6] Other clients included Bank of Credit and Commerce International. [7]
