The honorees will be recognized at a special ceremony on Dec. 1 at ABI’s 2023 Winter Leadership Conference at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in Scottsdale, Ariz.

In his international practice, Schiff has been involved in cases involving companies in Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America and Canada. He has played a leading role representing international creditors in some of the largest-ever restructurings to take place in Brazil, including Samarco, Oi and Odebrecht. Schiff also speaks and writes regularly on cross-border restructuring issues. His articles have appeared in Practical Law, the Norton Journal of Bankruptcy Law and Practice and other publications.

Schiff is a member of the International Insolvency Institute’s NextGen Leadership Program, ABI and INSOL. He has been named a “Rising Star Partner” by IFLR, and since 2020 he has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America “Ones to Watch.” Schiff also plays an active role in training and mentoring initiatives at his firm. Outside of the office, he is a hands-on parent and volunteers with and serves on the Advisory Council of Futures and Options, a New York-based nonprofit organization that connects high school students to paid, mentored internships and career-development opportunities.

“The members of the 2023 class are an inspiration for the commitment, creativity and ingenuity that they demonstrate in both their careers and communities,” said ABI Executive Director Amy Quackenboss. “This diverse collection of honorees is comprised of future leaders that will drive ABI and the insolvency community forward.”

The “40 Under 40” winners are distinguished by professional achievements and service and were selected by a group of experienced professionals from ABI’s current leadership. Now in its seventh year, the goal of ABI’s “40 under 40” award program is not simply to create a one-time ceremony, but to fully engage those selected as future leaders in the insolvency profession and to build on the initiative each year.
