Former Ropes & Gray associate Arthur Cutillo has been disbarred in New York a day after a Manhattan federal jury convicted billionaire Raj Rajaratnam on all counts related to a wide-ranging insider trading probe, reports The Am Law Daily.

A five-member panel of the New York State Appellate Division, First Department on Thursday (12 May) issued its ruling disbarring Cutillo, who was arrested in November 2009 and accused of passing along tips on confidential deals he worked on at the firm.
