Enron’s Skilling Paid Attorneys $23 Million
Attorneys in the case against Jeffrey K. Skilling, Enron Corp.’s former chief executive, reportedly received $23 million for his defense before the government froze the assets of the highest-ranking former company executive indicted so far in the scandal, according to court filings.
Experts were surprised at the hefty legal fees that were paid before a federal judge froze about $55 million of Skilling’s assets.
His legal team includes Century City attorney Daniel Petrocelli of the law firm of O’Melveny & Myers.
