AMR Legal Fees in Bankruptcy Exceed $170 Million

As AMR Corp. moves forward with its planned $11 billion merger with US Airways – a merger that also serves as the airline’s exit plan from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, legal fees and expenses continue to mount, topping more than $170 million so far.

Weil, Gotshal & Manges serves as the primary legal advisor to AMR for both its merger agreement and its bankruptcy. Lead attorneys for both matters from Texas include partners Thomas Roberts and Glenn West.
