Robin represents secured lenders, agents, DIP lenders, and debtors in both in-court and out-of-court restructurings. She helps clients pursue Bankruptcy Code protections, assess the validity and enforceability of claims, and develop strategies to protect or sell collateral while maximizing value.

She has extensive experience handling large-scale bankruptcy matters, including analyzing loan documents, drafting credit agreements and ancillary documents, and preparing first-day motions, amendments, and forbearance agreements. Pragmatic and analytical, Robin looks at the big picture, anticipating challenges and working toward solutions that align with her clients’ goals.

Robin is also dedicated to pro bono work. She has been recognized as a Rising Star by the National Immigrant Justice Center and named to the Chicago Volunteer Legal Services Honor Roll for her work representing immigrant juveniles seeking legal status in the United States.
