(Reuters) - New York law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf has removed its ex-chairman, Steven Davis, from the executive committee amid a probe by the Manhattan district attorney into whether Davis made misleading statements about compensation packages for some high-ranking partners.

The Manhattan district attorney's office is investigating possible wrongdoing at the embattled New York law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf, according to an internal firm memo.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Embattled law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf said on Sunday it removed its former chairman from various leadership positions amid a probe by the Manhattan district attorney and said that talks with rival firm Greenberg Traurig about a potential transaction ended with no deal.

The firm's management also disclosed that talks with Greenberg Traurig had ended.
