Alexandria, Va.— ABI announces that Dana Robbins-Boehner of Burr & Forman LLP (Tampa, Fla.) has been selected as one of ABI’s “40 Under 40,” ABI’s award program that recognizes 40 of the top insolvency industry professionals under the age of 40. The honorees will be recognized at a special ceremony on Dec. 13 during ABI’s 2024 Winter Leadership Conference at The Phoenician Scottsdale in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Robbins-Boehner is partner-eligible with Burr & Forman LLP in Tampa, Fla., where she serves in its Creditors’ Rights and Bankruptcy Practice Group. She represents a diverse array of clients, including financial institutions, municipalities, real estate developers, title insurance groups and retail shopping centers, in commercial bankruptcy cases. Robbins-Boehner also is experienced in complex business litigation, appeals and general civil litigation. Her practice includes all aspects of corporate restructuring, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, including § 363 sales, and preference and fraudulent transfer litigation. Robbins-Boehner serves as the Bankruptcy Committee chair for the Tampa Bay Chapter of the Federal Bar Association, the Tampa director for the International Women’s Insolvency & Restructuring Confederation, and a board member for the Tampa Bay Bankruptcy Bar Association.

In addition, Robbins-Boehner serves on the advisory board for ABI’s Alexander L. Paskay Memorial Bankruptcy Seminar, co-sponsored by Stetson University School of Law, and as the Newsletter Editor for ABI’s Bankruptcy Litigation Committee. She is also member of the Class of 2024 Next Generation Program for the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges. Robbins-Boehner is committed to enhancing access to justice for pro se debtors in the Middle District of Florida, and she serves as the president of the Middle District of Florida Pro Se Assistance Clinic and as executive director for the Bankruptcy Law Educational Series Foundation. She is a Burr & Forman, LLP Creditors’ Rights and Bankruptcy Practice Group Award Recipient for 2024 and received the 2023 Emerging Leader award from IWIRC’s Florida Chapter. In addition, Robbins-Boehner has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America as one of its “Ones to Watch” for Bankruptcy and Creditor/Debtor Rights/Insolvency and Reorganization Law since 2021 and for Litigation-Banking and Finance in 2023, and she was listed as a Florida Super Lawyers “Rising Star” from 2021-23.

Robbins-Boehner endeavors to promote diversity and inclusion within the insolvency profession and the advancement of diverse individuals in the insolvency community and the bankruptcy bench. Through her involvement with the Federal Bar Association, she has secured two diversity grants to sponsor national diversity events in Tampa hosted by the Judicial Conference Committees on the Administration of the Bankruptcy System and Magistrate Judges System, titled, “Roadways to the Bench: Who, Me? A Bankruptcy or Magistrate Judge?” The events were designed to further the goal of casting a wide net to attract the broadest pool of applicants to serve as federal judges, and their goal is one that resonates deeply with her: creating a pathway to the bankruptcy bench.

“We are honored to celebrate the exceptional leaders within the 2024 class as they continue to make a significant impact both in their practice and in their communities,” said ABI Executive Director Amy Quackenboss. “As bankruptcy practice continues to evolve, this diverse collection of honorees will propel ABI and the insolvency community forward.”

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. Now in its eighth year, the goal of ABI’s “40 Under 40” award program is not simply to create a one-time ceremony, but to fully engage those selected as future leaders in the insolvency profession and to build on the initiative each year.
