Farnan's agreement to mediate the drawn-out case came as the company and creditors wait for the independent examiner's report, due mid-March.
Creditors have accused Caesars of looting the operating unit before the bankruptcy for the benefit of private equity owners Apollo Global Management and TPG Capital Management . The examiner's report will look into the accusations.
The operating unit proposed a mediator last month as a way to help creditors reach a compromise and guide the case to resolution.
