Luxury retailer Neiman Marcus filed for bankruptcy protection Thursday morning, the first major department store to buckle under the weight of the coronavirus pandemic.

In its Chapter 11 petition filed in the Southern District of Texas, Neiman Marcus said it owes about $4 billion to between 50,000-100,000 creditors. The retailer tapped Kirkland & Ellis, led by Matthew Fagen, Anup Sathy and Chad Husnick, as debtor’s co-counsel. Local shop Jackson Walker, led by Matthew Cavenaugh, Jennifer Wertz, Kristhy Peguero and Veronica Polnick, will also provide legal counsel.
