Gai Lynn McCarthy Retires from Bankruptcy Law
Date: May 19, 2022
Bankruptcy Attorney Gai Lynn McCarthy knows a bit about shifting gears in life. After law school, she practiced law for five years in New Jersey and Georgia. Then she paused her legal career to raise her three children. When she returned to practice law in 2009, she joined KPPB LAW.
During her law career, she clerked for the Assignment Judge of the Gloucester, Salem, and Cumberland County Courts before joining a New Jersey law firm. After moving to Atlanta, she represented creditors in recovering assets, and went on to work for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) representing the FDIC in bankruptcy cases for banks taken over across the Southeast. For the past 13 years, she has been an amazing advocate for KPPB LAW clients.
Thank you, Gai Lynn, for all your legal contributions as well as for volunteering with bankruptcy clinics at Georgia State University, for engaging in bankruptcy matters at the Georgia State Bar, for mentoring the next generation of law students, for providing pro bono bankruptcy filings, for speaking in our community about bankruptcy matters --- and for being a wonderful law colleague. All of us at KPPB LAW will miss your dedication and advocacy. Wishing you wonderful new adventures as you shift gears, again --- this time, into retirement!
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has created the accreditation rule to protect investors. The hope behind the distinction, at least in the SEC’s mind, is that an accredited investor would be savvy (i.e., wealthy or financially sound) enough to withstand a significant loss if they invest in a non-profitable venture.
