Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton bankruptcy partner Corali Lopez-Castro finished her second term as managing partner in December 2019. Years earlier, the complex commercial litigation firm had decided to rotate through managing partners in two-year stints rather than electing leaders for indefinite terms.

As COVID-19 swept the nation shortly after partner Javier Lopez took over, Lopez-Castro watched the commercial litigator revel in his duties as a manager, even during a global pandemic and ongoing construction to the firm’s office in Coral Gables.
