Gray Reed Corporate Restructuring & Bankruptcy Associate Amber Carson has been selected to participate in the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges (NCBJ) Next Generation (NextGen) program. 

The program, which is to be hosted in Indianapolis in October 2021, hosts up-and-coming bankruptcy practitioners with 5 to 10 years of experience for special events offered exclusively to NextGen participants. Each NextGen participant was nominated and then randomly selected from all nominations received.  To be eligible for consideration, applicants were required to meet the following qualification criteria:  

• Devote at least 50 percent of their practice to bankruptcy;
• Demonstrate legal excellence in the practice of bankruptcy law;
• Demonstrate a commitment to the continued educational development of bankruptcy professionals and professional activities that will benefit the public, members of the bar, and the court system; and
• Display a serious commitment to principles of civility, ethics and professionalism.

As an advisor for debtors, creditors, official committees, trustees and other parties in interest, Carson represents clients in all facets of bankruptcy, creditors’ rights and federal bankruptcy-related litigation matters. She has guided clients in many different industries, including healthcare, retail, construction, oil and gas, restaurant and manufacturing to successful outcomes in many courts in Texas and across the country. The core of Carson's expertise in bankruptcy law stems from her judicial clerkship with a bankruptcy judge in the Northern District of Texas after law school at Southern Methodist University.
