In connection with the 40 Under 40 initiative, ABI annually identifies 40 top industry professionals under the age of 40 who have demonstrated a commitment to the highest standards of achievement at work and in their communities. Kim was named one of five finalists for the International Women’s Insolvency and Restructuring Confederation (IWIRC) 2017, “Rising Star” award. IWIRC is the premier international, networking and professional growth organization for women in the restructuring and insolvency industries. The IWIRC Rising Star finalist awards are bestowed upon five IWIRC members with eight (8) or less years of experience in the restructuring industry who have made considerable contributions to the profession at the local, national and international levels.

Each year, the NCBJ selects “a small group of up-and-coming bankruptcy attorneys” to participate in the Next Generation Program, “who show the potential to distinguish themselves in future years as highly respected members of the bankruptcy bar.” Before joining Landis Rath & Cobb, Kim clerked in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware for The Honorable Mary M.
