Correction, 1/4/2013, 11:05 a.m. EST: The original version of this article included an incorrect figure for the total fees sought by professionals working on the Dewey & LeBoeuf bankruptcy. The correct figure is $14.1 million. The headline and first paragraph of the article have been revised to reflect the correction information. We regret the error.
Advisers working for the Dewey & LeBoeuf estate have a dual mission this month: to win court approval for a plan outlining how the bankrupt law firm’s creditors will be paid a portion of some $600 million in debt they are collectively owed and to convince the same court that they themselves should be paid $14.1 million for their work advising Dewey during the bankruptcy’s first five months.
