Avant-garde T-shirt manufacturer American Apparel filed for bankruptcy Monday, tapping Jones Day to steer its corporate reorganization amid a spate of litigation over the 2014 ouster of company founder and former CEO Dov Charney.

The troubled retailer’s debts include at least $5.9 million in legal fees owed to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, White & Case and Paul Hastings, among others, according to documents filed in American Apparel’s Chapter 11 case in Delaware.
