bob体育官方客服雪佛龙公司与帕顿博格律师事务所达成和解协议

SAN RAMON, Calif., May 7, 2014 – Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) today announced it has reached a settlement agreement with Patton Boggs LLP, a lobbying and law firm headquartered in Washington, D.C. Chevron had filed counterclaims in federal court against Patton Boggs for its role in a lawsuit against the company in Ecuador. In today's沉降帕特顿博格斯通过撤离欺诈厄瓜多尔诉讼来解决了这些索赔，发出了陈述遗憾的是，将其在诉讼中的利益分配给雪佛龙，并支付持续1500万美元的人。依据，雪佛龙已同意释放针对Patton Boggs及其合作伙伴的所有索赔。

"We are pleased that Patton Boggs is ending its association with the fraudulent and extortionate Ecuador litigation scheme. Chevron detailed its objections to Patton Boggs' conduct in its counterclaim, and today's agreement brings that litigation to an end. Chevron encourages others to disassociate themselves from this fraud," said Hewitt Pate, Chevron's vice president and general counsel.

2014年3月4日,法官路易斯·卡普兰美国District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled that the $9.5 billion judgment against Chevron in Ecuador was the product of fraud and racketeering activity, finding it unenforceable in the United States and holding Donziger liable for RICO violations. Patton Boggs began working with Donziger and the Lago Agrio Plaintiffs in early 2010 in exchange for a stake in the Ecuadorian judgment. Patton Boggs also filed a series of three separate lawsuits on its own behalf in the United States against Chevron. All of that firm's claims against Chevron were rejected by U.S. federal courts. On March 31, 2014, Judge Kaplan granted Chevron's application to pursue counterclaims against Patton Boggs relating to that firm's role in connection with the Ecuadorian action and related litigations against the company. Today's settlement resolves those counterclaims.

在解决这件事时，Patton Boggs是最新的派对，其中许多人在史蒂文唐兹格兹和拉各伊原告中解剖自己。在近期七周的联邦扑克审判中对抗Steven Donziger，还有十几个前内部人士和盟友，包括他的前共协调员，环境顾问，资助者，员工和厄瓜多尔协作者。
