Alexandria, Va.— ABI announces that Matthew Harvey of Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnell 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. 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.
Harvey is a partner at Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnell LLP, where he focuses on chapter 11 business bankruptcy, bankruptcy litigation, reorganization and restructuring. He represents international, national and regional clients, including debtors, official and ad hoc committees, asset-purchasers, debtor-in-possession (DIP) lenders, secured and unsecured creditors, petitioning creditors in involuntary bankruptcy filings, and other parties in interest. His experience includes in- and out-of-court restructuring transactions for publicly traded and private companies, and he has represented clients in bankruptcy litigation and appeals, as well as commercial litigation. He also has substantial experience representing debtors, foreign representatives and others in cross-border cases.
