Alexandria, Va. ABI announces that Evan Miller of Bayard, P.A. (Wilmington, Del.) has been selected as one of ABI’s “40 Under 40,” ABI’s annual program that recognizes 40 of the top insolvency industry professionals under the age of 40. The honorees will be recognized at a special ceremony to be held on Dec. 10 at ABI’s 2021 Winter Leadership Conference at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.

Miller is a director at Bayard, where he concentrates his practice in the areas of corporate bankruptcy and restructuring, representing debtors (both voluntary and involuntary) and trustees, in addition to asset-purchasers, landlords, official committees of unsecured creditors, secured creditors, vendors, and preference and fraudulent transfer litigants in bankruptcy courts across the country. His clientele stems from a wide range of industries, including aviation, restaurants, insurance, retail, health care, energy and education, among many others. In addition to in-court and out-of-court restructuring matters, Miller has experience handling commercial litigation in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania jurisdictions, as well as Delaware Statutory Trust matters. He is also a certified mediator for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and is included on its Register of Mediators and Arbitrators. Since 2016, Miller has been recognized in Super Lawyers magazine as a Delaware Rising Star in the practice area of business bankruptcy. He was also named to Benchmark Litigation’s 40 and Under Hot List from 2019-2021 for his nationwide work in bankruptcy litigation. In 2021, Miller was named an Emerging Leader by The M&A Advisor.

Miller is very active in the local and national restructuring community, currently serving as vice chair of ABI's Real Estate Committee, executive board member of the Turnaround Management Association’s Philadelphia/Wilmington chapter (which covers the Philadelphia metro area, Delaware and southern New Jersey), treasurer of the Delaware Bankruptcy American Inn of Court, and vice chair of the Business Law Section of the Philadelphia Bar Association, of which he formerly served as communications chair, secretary and treasurer. Previously, he served as chairman of TMA NextGen, chairman of ABI’s Young & New Members Committee, chairman and treasurer of the Delaware State Bar Association’s (DSBA) Young Lawyer Section, vice chair of the Bankruptcy Committee for the American Bar Association’s Young Lawyer Division and chair of the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Bankruptcy Committee. Miller received his J.D. cum laude in 2009 from Delaware Law School and his B.A. in 2004 from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania.

“The 2021 honorees are a testament to the future of the insolvency profession, with exemplary accomplishments in both their careers and communities,” said ABI Executive Director Amy Quackenboss. “We look forward to this diverse collection of young leaders propelling ABI's full range of activities forward to advance the profession.”
