Attorney Honors
Kelley Cornish was named a leading lawyer in both Chambers Nationwide and New York guides for Bankruptcy and Restructuring. Clients report that Kelley is “extraordinarily well-respected in the bankruptcy community” and that “she does a fantastic job navigating tough situations with a steady hand.” Kelley joined Selendy Gay in 2024, expanding the firm’s complex commercial litigation capabilities in high-stakes restructuring and insolvency disputes, bankruptcy-related investigations and litigation involving breaches of fiduciary duty, fraudulent transfers, preferences, and equitable subordination.
Faith Gay was recognized once more for White-Collar Crime & Government Investigations and General Commercial Litigation. Her clients report, “She is a strategist who has a terrific manner dealing with people and examining witnesses.” Chambers highlights Faith’s work in high-stakes litigation covering commercial claims, white-collar issues, and matters of constitutional law.
Jennifer Selendy was ranked among the top lawyers in general commercial litigation for her work on complex, high-stakes disputes for both plaintiffs and defendants. Jennifer is one of the rare “generalists” whose broad range of skills has allowed her to achieve exceptional results in the many varied matters she leads. Recently, she’s established herself and the firm as leaders in lender-on-lender disputes, which have become increasingly common as borrowers (distressed or otherwise) use such transactions to access new capital. Jennifer is the go-to lawyer for lenders excluded from such deals when they seek to vindicate their rights as creditors by going to trial.
Philippe Selendy was ranked for his work in General Commercial Litigation, especially for his role in leading the team that secured victories for Cerberus Capital Management. Chambers notes Philippe’s work representing institutional investors and financial institutions and maintaining an active practice defending companies in M&A-related and shareholder disputes. He is known by his clients as a “phenomenal lawyer” who is “innovative, thorough, detailed and strategic.”
