A pair of committees pressing claims against the bankrupt Dewey & LeBoeuf‘s estate have selected Brown Rudnick and Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman for representation as the largest Chapter 11 case in U.S. history involving a law firm proceeds.
Edward Weisfelner, chair of Brown Rudnick’s bankruptcy and finance department, confirmed in an e-mail to The Am Law Daily that his firm has been selected to represent Dewey’s unsecured creditors committee and that Kasowitz will represent a committee of former Dewey partners. Kasowitz bankruptcy head David Friedman is taking the lead on that assignment, fellow Kasowitz bankruptcy partner David Rosner confirmed in an e-mail.
