Kirkland & Ellis and Kutak Rock, which have previously partnered up this year on Chapter 11 cases for Gymboree Retail Stores Inc. and Gordmans Stores Inc., have now submitted court papers showing how much they intend to charge—and have been paid—for their roles representing another ailing retailer.
Toys “R” Us Inc. filed for bankruptcy earlier this month in Richmond, Virginia, in an effort to restructure some $5 billion in debt. Kutak Rock is providing local counsel to Toys “R” Us, while Kirkland has grabbed the lead bankruptcy role for the Wayne, New Jersey-based toy retail giant.
