Highland Capital Management LP, part of a once-high flying credit firm, filed for bankruptcy amid a long-running dispute over a fund it froze during the height of the global financial crisis.
The investment adviser unit within Highland Capital Management filed for Chapter 11 protection ahead of a potential legal judgment, the Dallas-based firm said in a statement. The judgment, which stems from a fund known as Crusader that was frozen in 2008, would exceed the assets the entity could quickly sell to meet any payment, it said.
