Correction, 3:45 p.m. EDT: An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified the name of a former LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae partner who spoke at Tuesday’s hearing. His name is John Campo. We regret the error.

“I can finally confirm the worst-kept secret of the year,” bankruptcy lawyer Albert Togut said late Tuesday afternoon in a lower Manhattan federal courtroom. “I am counsel for Dewey & LeBoeuf.”
