acquisition and management Background: In 2017, Freeman became chair of the American Bar Association Business Bankruptcy Committee, the largest organization of bankruptcy lawyers. She also serves as president of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers and is secretary of the American College of Bankruptcy. SOURCE OF PRIDE: “I persuaded the United States Supreme Court to consider

my pro bono client’s case and briefed and argued to the Court. Although I lost 5-4 on a sticky interpretation of the Internal Revenue Code and Bankruptcy Code, I helped the Court understand the nuances of the case and rule in a way that avoided the serious consequences of the lower court decisions.” ADVICE: “Listen to your clients and to opposing parties and the judge to

ascertain their real concerns. With that information, you can figure out a way to accomplish your client’s goals.” 52
