Dechert bills to be assessed following High Court ruling

In response to a claim by mining company Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC) that it was overcharged by Dechert, the High Court has ruled that the disputed bills will be assessed. According to the ruling, a timetable for reviewing the bills will be put into place and ENRC will continue its claims in the High Court. Dechert’s worked with ENRC on a Serious Fraud Office criminal investigation dating back to 2011. The firm’s bills came in at more than £16.3m, excluding VAT. An ENRC spokesperson said the company waited until the internal investigation was complete to challenge Dechert’s bills.
