She develops pragmatic, proactive strategies to minimize risk and maximize client interests in the fast-paced world of bankruptcy. Kristin tailors her strategies to each client’s priorities and objectives, but consistently keeps her clients informed by setting clear goals and expectations. She is always accessible and extremely responsive. Kristin’s direct, down-to-earth style and her ability to distill complex legal issues into straightforward, concrete plans of action make her an integral member of her clients’ teams. Kristin represents indenture trustees, creditors’ committees, liquidating trustees, and secured and unsecured creditors in all aspects of bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings. In challenging restructuring situations, Kristin remains level-headed and focused, relying on her experience, adaptability, and effective negotiation skills to achieve positive outcomes. Aggressive when appropriate but equally able to diffuse difficult dynamics with humor and relatability, Kristin finds solutions in even the most complex and contentious situations. > “Bankruptcies are precarious and uncertain, and usually a less-than-ideal forum for my clients to conduct business. My goal in each case is to give clear strategic options that position my clients to achieve a value-maximizing outcome.” - News - Events Honors [ ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-Images/bankruptcy_objectv2_listing.webp?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=750&q=80&w=1125&s=bad54b927350e37926e39c39a26e366a) ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-rectangles/Honors_Listing.svg) ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/news/kelley-drye-bankruptcy-group-wins-m-a-turnaround-award) January 30, 2024 [ ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/news/kelley-drye-bankruptcy-group-wins-m-a-turnaround-award) Press Release [ ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-rectangles/Press_Release_Listing.svg) ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/news/kelley-drye-announces-new-partners-and-special-counsel-2) July 5, 2022 [ ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/news/kelley-drye-announces-new-partners-and-special-counsel-2) [View all related news](https://www.kelleydrye.com/news?teamMember=Elliott%3AKristin+S.+Elliott#listing) Speaking Engagement [ ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-rectangles/Speaking_Engagement_Listing.svg) ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/events/upcoming-bankruptcy-cycle-remember-2007-2008) [ ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/events/upcoming-bankruptcy-cycle-remember-2007-2008) March 13, 2023 1:15pm - 2:00pm [View all related events](https://www.kelleydrye.com/events?teamMember=Elliott%3AKristin+S.+Elliott#listing) #### Indenture Trustees Caesars; Cano Health; Chaparral Energy; Danimer Scientific; Diamond Sports Group; Endo Pharmaceuticals; FAT Brands; Global Brokerage; Hexion; iHeart Media; Indianapolis Downs; Intelsat; J.
