Her bankruptcy and insolvency practice includes Chapter 11 reorganizations, creditor negotiations, and workout situations.

What sets Kim apart: Her combined expertise in corporate law, real estate, and bankruptcy means clients facing financial pressure in real estate transactions or business restructuring don't need multiple attorneys. She handles both the legal structure and the financial complications in the same conversation.
