What I think of whenever I think of Willkie
Willkie Farr & Gallagher has announced (btw, if you’re at Willkie, you might want to tell someone that the link to the firm’s own press release doesn’t work from the homepage) that restructuring partner Matt Feldman will be leaving the firm by the end of the month to join the administration. Feldman (Tufts BA ’85, NYU JD ’88), who has done both debtor and creditor work, will
join the auto team at the Treasury Department advising Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner and Lawrence H. Summers, the director of the National Economic Council, on reorganization efforts by the automobile manufacturers and their suppliers.
His two colleagues are Steve Rattner, one of four founders of private-equity firm Quadrangle Group, and Ron Bloom, most recently an adviser to the United Steelworkers and previously a Lazard banker.
Rattner had the right idea: Quadrangle group had four founders. Since there are three guys working on the auto-industry, they should have gotten someone from Cerberus – although considering their Chrysler morass, they might not be the most impartial advisers.
