It has hired bankruptcy counsel.
According to (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122903816924599853.html?mod=testMod) The Wall Street Journal, GM (GM) management recently tapped bankruptcy veteran Harvey Miller of the New York law firm, Weil Gotshal & Manges LP, to handle what would be one of the largest and most controversial filings in U.S. history.
With the bill to send checks to The Big Three in deep trouble, getting advice for Chapter 11 is only prudent. GM's should have done it weeks ago when the company's cash was not so low. It would have made operating under court protection much easier.
