Alexandria, Va. — ABI announces that Erin E. Diers of Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP (New York) 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 on Dec. 9 at ABI’s 2022 Winter Leadership Conference at the La Quinta Resort & Club in La Quinta, Calif.

Diers is a partner in Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP’s Corporate Reorganization department, where she focuses on bankruptcy, restructuring and commercial litigation. Her diverse practice includes the representation of debtors and creditors in a wide range of matters, including in- and out-of-court restructurings and bankruptcy litigation. Diers also provides bankruptcy advice in connection with financing transactions and maintains an active pro bono practice, representing clients in prisoners’ rights, immigration and family law cases. A first-generation college and law school graduate, she was recognized in 2022 as an “Outstanding Young Restructuring Lawyer” by Turnarounds & Workouts, an honor given to just 12 attorneys nationwide under the age of 40. Diers also has been recognized as a “Rising Star” by New York Super Lawyers for seven consecutive years, and was recommended in The Legal 500 United States in the area of Finance – Restructuring (including Bankruptcy): Corporate in 2021 and 2022. She is co-chair of her firm’s Women’s Roundtable, a member of her firm’s Mentoring Task Force, a board member of the New York Chapter of the International Women’s Insolvency & Restructuring Confederation (IWIRC), and a member of the International Aviation Women’s Association. Diers received her J.D. in 2011 from Columbia University School of Law, where she was the Harlan Fisk Stone Scholar, and her B.A. magna cum laude in 2008 from American University.

“The 2022 honorees continually display the acumen, energy and passion in both their careers and communities to demonstrate that they are the future leaders of the insolvency profession,” said ABI Executive Director Amy Quackenboss. “This year’s class, like those in years past, brings together a widely diverse collection of young leaders who we fully expect 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 sixth year, the goal of ABI’s “40 under 40” initiative 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.
