As counsel for General Motors in the Delphi bankruptcy, Weil, Gotshal & Manges’s Jeffrey Tanenbaum had as much interest in keeping Delphi–a major supplier to GM–from liquidation as Delphi’s own management did.
Early on, Tanenbaum helped broker a key compromise between GM, its unions, and Delphi that allowed the auto parts company to slash labor costs and pension obligations. And last April, Tanenbaum convinced the Treasury Department’s Auto Task Force that it needed to move quickly to help Delphi.
