"A Moment’s Notice: An Inside look at how Weil Gotshal put together the Lehman bankruptcy in record time" appears in the December 2008 issue of
The American Lawyer. The article, written by Ben Hallman,
provides an insider’s view of the largest bankruptcy in US history. It recounts in vivid detail how the firm, which had been working with Lehman Brothers since 1983, tried to prevent "'Armageddon' for the financial sector," and battled the clock to put together a $639 billion bankruptcy with almost no warning. Hallman traces the movements of Weil Gotshal chairman Stephen Dannhauser, and partners Harvey Miller, Lori Fife and Tom Roberts during the last days of Lehman.
