Alexandria, Va. ABI announces that Justin F. Carroll of Guggenheim Partners Investment Management (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. Honorees will be recognized at a special ceremony during ABI’s 2019 Winter Leadership Conference, taking place Dec. 5-7 at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.

Carroll is a managing director and associate general counsel at Guggenheim Partners in New York. He is a member of the firm’s team that handles transactional legal matters for its investment-management business, focusing on deal negotiation, structuring, investment-management accounts and special-situation analysis, with a primary focus on in- and out-of-court restructurings. Prior to joining Guggenheim, Carroll worked from 2008-2014 as a corporate restructuring attorney at the firm of Jones Day, where he represented various constituencies in restructurings and bankruptcy, including debtors, bank groups, distressed-investment funds, noteholder committees and official creditors’ committees.

Carroll received his A.B. in politics cum laude from Princeton University and his J.D. from Columbia University School of Law. At Columbia, he was a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar, executive editor of the Business Law Review and chair of the Moot Court Executive Board. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the YMCA of Greater New York, and previously served on the Board of Managers of the Vanderbilt YMCA from 2009-2017, including as chair from 2015-2017. Since 2008, Carroll has served as a volunteer advisor for the YMCA’s Youth & Government program, and in 2016, the YMCA of Greater New York named Carroll as its “Adult Volunteer of the Year.” Carroll is also active in the restructuring and LGBTQ communities, and currently serves as President of workOUT, a national organization of over 150 LGBTQ restructuring professionals.

“This 2019 class of honorees is incredibly accomplished and diverse, and well representative of the multidisciplinary nature of our community,” said ABI Executive Director Samuel J. Gerdano. “We look forward to engaging these young leaders in the full range of ABI's activities, in service to the profession.”

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. Nominations were submitted via the initiative’s website, through which professionals nominated themselves or a colleague. Membership in ABI was not required, and more than 350 candidates were evaluated. Those selected were chosen from both large and small firms from every region of the country, and represent diverse practice areas such as law, finance, accounting, consulting, academia, government and more.
