The court-appointed fee committee in the mammoth Energy Future Holdings (EFH) Chapter 11 bankruptcy has a new challenge: tackling the recent application filed by the law firm of Kirkland & Ellis seeking approximately $21.3 million in attorney fees and expenses.

Kirkland & Ellis and Kirkland & Ellis International (Kirkland) are representing EFH and its affiliates in the case. Earlier in the case, Kirkland had requested that the presiding judge in the EFH Chapter 11 case, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher S. Sontchi, reimburse the firm $125,067,877 for attorney fees and expenses. The following attorneys are leading the Kirkland team in representing EFH in the bankruptcy suit: New York partners Edward Sassower, Stephen Hessler and Brian Schartz; and Chicago partners James Sprayregen, Marc Kieselstein, Chad Husnick and Steven Serajeddini.
