Rebecca is a member of the firm’s Real Estate and Business practice groups. Guided by a philosophy of partnership and teamwork, she works closely with clients to craft strategic, results-driven solutions. As a seasoned negotiator, she is adept at aligning legal strategy with each client’s distinct goals and priorities.

Real Estate
In her real estate practice, Rebecca represents both buyers and sellers of commercial real estate from the initial start of the transaction through closing. She has extensive experience representing institutional landowners, in complex leasing matters, real estate sales and real estate purchases. Rebecca frequently negotiates and draft leases for landlords for a wide variety of commercial real estate uses, including office, restaurant, manufacturing, medical office, agriculture, and solar. She also assists real estate developers in all stages of development, including conducting due diligence and resolving complicated zoning and title issues. In addition, Rebecca represents bar and restaurant owners with the purchase, sale and transfer of liquor licenses, shepherding the process through the PLCB.

Business
In her business practice, Rebecca represents small to midsize businesses in all matters, such as mergers and acquisitions and corporate governance. She has experience working through the creation of complicated corporate structures in order to properly protect the interests of all company members. Rebecca frequently acts as outside general counsel to several local companies, helping to create strategy for growth and to assess risk. In addition, she has a strong commitment to serving family-owned businesses, understanding the unique dynamics and challenges they face.

Before becoming an attorney, Rebecca began her career as a social worker – an experience that shaped her ability to understand people’s motivations with empathy and without judgment. That perspective gives her an edge in navigating complex negotiations and building strong, collaborative relationships with clients. She is responsive, experienced and knowledgeable, but above all, she values helping people. Rebecca approaches every matter as a true partnership, treating each representation as a shared effort to achieve her client’s goals.

Outside of the firm, Rebecca holds several board positions with community organizations throughout central Pennsylvania. She currently serves on the board of directors for Bell Socialization and Braided River Collective. Rebecca resides in York with her husband and their two children.
