Rosemarie began her law career practicing at large international and regional law firms in the areas of public finance and real estate. She later worked as in-house counsel in the development and legal departments of a number of large restaurant companies. Seeking a more balanced life, she launched a private practice primarily focusing on commercial leasing, franchise work, real estate development and general business matters. The majority of Rosemarie’s clients are restaurant companies and restaurant franchisees. In addition to working the tenant side of transactions, she also represents several sophisticated institutional landlords and developers. Her background as a member of the development team for a number of publicly and privately held restaurant companies honed Rosemarie’s practice to focus on practical solutions with an emphasis on “getting the deal done” while protecting her clients.
