Bloomberg – Steven A. Cohen’s SAC Capital Advisors LP asked a judge to disqualify the law firm that sued it and other hedge funds on grounds the firm’s investigators talked with a defendant who was represented by counsel.
SAC Capital joined a motion brought by Morgan Keegan & Co. to kick Kasowitz Benson Torres & Friedman LLP off the suit because its investigators posed as managing directors of a sham hedge fund and contacted John Gwynn, then a Morgan Keegan analyst, even after the suit was filed and Gwynn had a lawyer.
