Rebecca is a tenacious advocate and litigator who loves trial work and oral argument. She had an early awareness of workplace issues through her undergraduate studies in the Cornell School of Industrial and Labor Relations. After many years of practicing employment law, she has keen sense of common issues that arise and strives to provide sound, thoughtful advice to protect her clients’ interests and help them avoid litigation.

When litigation is unavoidable, however, Rebecca is prepared to zealously defend her clients. Recent successes include a defense verdict after a two-week jury trial in a sexual orientation hostile work environment case in S.D.N.Y. in 2021; dismissal of an S.D.N.Y. Equal Pay Complaint at summary judgment after oral argument in 2021; dismissal of an AAA Complaint after a week-long arbitration hearing and post-trial briefing in 2020; and dismissal of a claim pending in N.Y.S. Division of Human Rights after a four-day public hearing in 2022.
