Brittany frequently speaks and writes on bankruptcy topics for tort attorneys and tort victims, was one of the American Bankruptcy Institute's "40 Under 40" among bankruptcy attorneys, and was named an "Attorney of the Year" by Minnesota Lawyer for her work in representing the creditors' committee in the chapter 11 case of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
