One year ago, banking behemoth Lehman Brothers crumbled, its Chapter 11 filing sending shockwaves across the world economy. A select few lawyers were at Ground Zero of the implosion. Among them was Lori Fife, a business finance and restructuring partner at Weil Gotshal & Manges, Lehman’s bankruptcy counsel. Along with Weil bankruptcy legend Harvey Miller, Fife has been on the case for the past year.
To mark the one-year anniversary of the bankruptcy filing, The Am Law Daily spoke with Fife (pictured above) about the events surrounding Lehman’s fall, and about what could have been done to stop it.
