Fisker Automotive, the environmentally friendly-car company that has not built a car since July, has hired law firm Kirkland & Ellis to advise it on a possible bankruptcy filing, Reuters reported yesterday. Kirkland's Anup Sathy, a bankruptcy lawyer who handled the chapter 11 filings of General Growth Properties and Innkeepers USA Trust, is advising the U.S. automaker. Fisker, which furloughed its more than 200 U.S. workers this week to conserve cash, has been exploring bankruptcy as an option while it continues to look for a strategic partner.
