Freeh Group Acquired by Philly Law Firm

Louis Freeh, the former FBI boss now famous for his group’s investigative report on Penn State’s alleged coverup of Jerry Sandusky’s sexual abuse of children, will reportedly join the Philly law firm of Pepper Hamilton LLP, Philadelphia. Pepper Hamilton has apparently agreed to terms to purchase Freeh’s law firm, Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan, LLP and the faction of the organization that conducted the Penn State investigation, Freeh Group International Solutions, LLC. The Freeh Report, commissioned by the Penn State Board of Trustees, largely condemned university brass, including Joe Paterno, for their roles in the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal. [Philly.com]
