Serta Restructuring - Who Advised Lenders, and Who Deserves Credit?

Hi, reading into Serta restructuring. Seemed like EVR was debtor side since very early (2019) and continued throughout. However, I'm wondering which bank advised both (a) the original minority (Apollo, Angelo Gordon, et al) to do the drop down IP transfer and (b) the PTL lenders (Eaton Vance, Invesco et al) who came up with the novel non-pro rata uptier. Wouldn't this have been a pretty big creditor engagement? Also, I'm wondering who should be credited for the "win" of the PTL lenders- the investment bank or the lawyers?

It's the Lawyers and Financial Advisors. 

The uptier (as you see with the majority of other uptiers) always just end up in chp.11. The biggest winners are lawyers and investment bankers. They perform the LME and then 2 quarters later they are re-engaged to help with the chapter 11.
