Kelly Shefferly is a business attorney at Stinar Lannen, where he helps anchor the commercial litigation, debtor-creditors rights, and transactional practice. He brings that same business discipline to the firm’s mass tort and class action practice, where the largest recoveries increasingly turn on sophisticated settlement structuring, claims financing, and treatment of creditors’ rights when institutional defendants restructure or reorganize. Kelly also handles commercial litigation and advises clients across the firm’s business, bankruptcy and reorganization, and fractional general counsel matters.
His grounding in bankruptcy and finance gives Stinar Lannen a decisive advantage in complex litigation that crosses into insolvency, distressed transactions, and multi-party settlement administration—work where command of both the courtroom and the balance sheet is essential.
Kelly is admitted in Michigan and before the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. He is a former law clerk to the Hon. Lisa S. Gretchko of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and has been recognized by Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America.
