Alexandria, Va.— ABI announces that Michael Fuller of OlsenDaines (Portland, Ore.) 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.

Fuller is a partner at OlsenDaines in Portland, Ore., and nearly 20 percent of his cases are pro bono, or free of charge. Since 2015, he has also served as an adjunct professor of consumer law at Lewis & Clark Law School. Fuller is on the executive committee of the Debtor-Creditor Section of the Oregon State Bar and is past chair of the Consumer Law Section of the Oregon State Bar. He was selected as a “Rising Star in Bankruptcy” by Super Lawyers. He received his J.D. from Willamette University College of Law in 2009 and his B.S. from Oregon State University in 2005.

“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.
