The selection of Kramer Levin to represent the unsecured creditors committee was spotlighted in the Amlaw Daily. The firm was chosen over five other firms after a five-and-a-half hour process during which the trustee selected 11 creditors to sit on the committee, which in turn selected Kramer Levin to represent them. Each firm had 15 minutes to present their credentials. The accelerated timeline is due to President Barack Obama's desire to see Chrysler emerge from bankruptcy in 60 days. The article also noted that Kramer Levin has represented unsecured creditors committees in several other high profile bankruptcies.

Also, in a May 7 New York Law Journal article on the Chrysler bankruptcy proceedings, Kramer Levin was noted as having been selected to represent the committee of unsecured creditors. Corporate Restructuring and Bankruptcy partners Kenneth H. Eckstein, Thomas Moers Mayer, Robert T. Schmidt and Adam C. Rogoff were mentioned as leading the team.
