Bankruptcy attorney Melissa Youngman has joined Wilson Elser’s Orlando office as a partner. Formerly a partner with regional law firm McCalla Raymer, Youngman’s practice is focused on bankruptcy and creditors’ rights, representing a broad spectrum of clients including mortgage lenders, banks and financial institutions, Fortune 500 companies, insurance companies, real estate entities, equipment lessors, commercial landlords, purchasers of distressed assets, investment trusts, bankruptcy trustees, and other entities.
“Melissa’s practice bolsters the firm’s national and Florida-based bankruptcy practices,” said Sean McDonough, regional managing partner of Wilson Elser’s Orlando office. “While the national practice has always served clients in jurisdictions throughout the country, Melissa’s experience and skill set in Orlando and the recent addition of bankruptcy partner Dan Gold in Miami further broaden the practice’s geographic footprint and provide our clients with ready access to accomplished, local attorneys.”
Certified in business bankruptcy by the American Board of Certification, Youngman serves as co-chair of the American Bankruptcy Institute’s Southeast Bankruptcy Workshop Advisory Board and is a former board member of the Central Florida Bankruptcy Law Association and the New York Chapter of the International Women’s Insolvency and Restructuring Confederation. Additionally, she has been named for inclusion in the Orlando Super Lawyers Rising Stars list.
