Rebecca leverages her experience in all three branches of government to help clients navigate today’s regulatory and government enforcement landscape.
Rebecca believes that businesses and individuals are best situated to thrive when the legal “rules of the road” are clear-cut, rational and transparent. Rebecca currently guides clients in a variety of business sectors as they conduct internal investigations, defend government enforcement actions, or engage in complex civil litigation. Clients appreciate Rebecca’s passion for providing comprehensive and practical advice, paired with her sensitivity to how government views and enacts laws and regulations.
Before joining Husch Blackwell, Rebecca served as Counsel to the Solicitor at the U.S. Department of Labor, an appointed position in which she gained firsthand insight into agency rulemaking and administrative enforcement. Previously in private practice, Rebecca counseled both domestic and international clients in strengthening and refining their compliance programs and focused her pro bono practice on assisting individuals challenging regulatory schemes. In addition, her DOL experience and her prior internship with the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee sharpened her awareness of the underlying policy priorities often informing government action.
Rebecca also has a breadth of experience on both sides of government inquiries, whether in the private sector by advising clients navigating U.S. Department of Justice investigations, or as a federal executive branch attorney coordinating the agency’s response to congressional inquiries. If an investigation proceeds to litigation, Rebecca also relies on this same “dual-hat” experience, including her time as a federal judicial clerk and in the executive branch, and in private practice drafting a wide range of civil motions and briefs.
