The company has also been working with law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP and investment banker Lazard Ltd. on restructuring efforts and last week said it is considering all options, including a bankruptcy filing, to battle its declining cash and dropping revenue.
AlixPartners replaced Berkeley Research Group LLC (BRG), a consulting firm Bed Bath & Beyond had been working with since the middle of last year, the sources said.
