The Lehman Brothers legal bill mill continued to churn this week as the defunct financial services giant filed its latest monthly operating report with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company paid another $28.6 million in fees to outside financial, legal, and auditing advisers in July, according to its SEC filing, bringing its total tab in the nearly three-year-old Chapter 11 case to nearly $1.4 billion. Leading the way once again among the law firms was lead counsel Weil, Gotshal & Manges, which collected $7.7 million, increasing its haul in the case to $326.6 million.
