In late February, Hughes Hubbard & Reed partner Edward Little was responding to routine discovery issues in Securities and Exchange Commission v. Martin-Artajo, 1:13-cv-05677—better known as the London Whale case.
Little represents Julien Grout, one of the two former JPMorgan Chase traders to have allegedly fraudulently mismarked investments in a multibillion-dollar portfolio to conceal hundreds of millions in losses. Bruno Iksil, another trader on the team whose nickname became the eponymous referral for the sprawling international case, has been cooperating in the criminal and civil case, the latter of which was settled by JPMorgan Chase for $920 million.
