Lehman Examiner Wants to Interview Ex-SEC Chief

Posted by Zach Lowe

The examiner investigating the collapse of Lehman Brothers has requested an informal interview with Christopher Cox, the former head of the Securities and Exchange Commission who left the agency and joined Bingham McCutchen as a partner in July.

The SEC has not yet made Cox available for an interview with the examiner, Jenner & Block's Anton Valukas, according to an update Bingham filed in Lehman's Chapter 11 case on Thursday.

Bingham has made several filings announcing its representation of Lehman on tax issues since the firm's acquisition in July of McKee Nelson, which had been serving as Lehman's special tax counsel throughout the bankruptcy. The main McKee lawyers involved in the Lehman matter moved to Bingham and still are handling the case.

The SEC "is determining whether other current or former agency personnel should respond to this request for information in lieu of (Cox)," the filing states.
