Embattled banker and former New Jersey governor Jon Corzine is relying on RLM Finsbury for PR counsel amid the collapse of MF Global, the brokerage firm he led until this month.
RLM Finsbury was engaged by Corzine’s law firm, Dechert LLP, the firm of experienced Wall Street defense attorney Andrew Levander.
RLM partner Steven Goldberg, a former Sitrick and Company member who is an attorney, is speaking for Corzine.
As previously reported, FTI Consulting is working with MF Global, which fired all 1,066 employees of its broker-deal unit.
Corzine, the former head of Goldman Sachs and one-term governor, resigned from MF on Nov. 4 after MF’s Halloween bankruptcy filing.
The Associated Press reported today that Corzine’s fortune has become an “alluring target” for investors hurt by MF’s downfall, which was hastened by the European debt crisis.
