Karasik has recently been elected to the company's three-person executive committee, the first woman named to the group in the firm's 52-year history. "The executive committee basically does what a managing partner would do," said Karasik, who will be occupying a three-year position on the rotating committee. "Together we supervise the office management, salaries and bonuses and negotiate banking relationships," she said. Karasik has been with the firm since 1991 and was made partner in 1997. Stutman, Teister & Glatt considers itself a boutique firm dealing in corporate reorganization and bankruptcy. Given the recent carnage in the tech sector, not to mention an overall slowing economy, the firm is sure to see a rise in clients. "We're definitely counter-cyclical," Karasik said. "I think everyone in the bankruptcy world has been busy since the market trouble at the beginning of last year, almost every industry is being touched at this point." But the dot-com shakeout hasn't led to a large influx of business for the firm, Karasik said, because those companies' situations are much different than classic bankruptcy cases. "We've had a lot of dot-coms come and talk to us, but those cases are a lot more difficult than your regular brick-and-mortar businesses. The question is, 'Are there any assets to reorganize?'" she said. Karasik said she is excited about the opportunity, but that tackling the day-to-day management coupled with an already demanding schedule as a partner is sure to be a challenge. "I'm certainly going to have longer days," she said. "I hope to contribute to the continued success of the firm and make sure we're in the position to capture the opportunities that come our way."
