Baker Botts Hits $100 Million Mark in Asarco Bankruptcy
As Arizona-based mining company Asarco nears the end of its four-year bankruptcy odyssey, lead debtors counsel Baker Botts submitted its 12th application for fees on Friday. The filing put the firm past the $100 million mark in billable hours since Asarco filed for bankruptcy in 2005 after getting hit with a series of asbestos and environmental pollution suits. And Baker Botts may have more work ahead.
