Alexandria, Va.— ABI announces that Victoria A. Guilfoyle of Blank Rome LLP (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. Honorees will be recognized at a special virtual ceremony on February 18, 2021.

Guilfoyle concentrates her practice on corporate bankruptcy and business reorganization matters and related litigation, where she represents chapter 11 debtors, creditors’ committees, lenders, private-equity funds and other secured creditors, chapter 11 and chapter 7 trustees, asset-purchasers, equipment lessors, utility providers, software licensors, landlords and liquidation and litigation trusts. She also prosecutes and defends against avoidance and fraudulent transfer actions brought in large chapter 11 cases. In addition to her bankruptcy practice, Guilfoyle focuses her practice in corporate and commercial litigation matters. From 2014-20, she was named a “Delaware Rising Star” in Business Bankruptcy and listed in Super Lawyers^®, and in 2018 she was named to the “40 Under 40” list in Philadelphia Business Journal. Guilfoyle received her J.D. from Rutgers University School of Law, Camden, and her B.A., magna cum laude and with honors, from Washington College.

“Accomplished in both their careers and communities, the 2020 class of honorees is an inspiration for the future of the insolvency community,” said ABI Executive Director Amy Quackenboss. “We look forward to collaborating with this diverse collection of young leaders in the full range of ABI's activities to advance the profession.”

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.
