Rebecca Renn is a franchise and business attorney based in northern Pennsylvania. She works with franchise buyers, owners, and growing businesses who want help understanding agreements and making smart decisions before they commit. With more than twenty years of experience, she approaches each matter with a focus on clarity, careful planning, and making sure clients feel supported as they move forward.
Her work today centers on franchise agreements and commercial leases. In practice, that often means helping someone review a franchise opportunity, flagging terms that deserve a closer look, or working through a lease so the business has room to operate and grow. Clients often say they appreciate her steady communication and straightforward explanations. She takes time to walk through documents line by line when needed and explains what is typical, what is flexible, and what may cause issues later. The goal is to help clients feel informed and confident, not rushed or pressured.
Earlier in her career, Rebecca spent many years in the courtroom, both representing private clients and serving as a prosecutor for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. That experience gave her a strong sense of how disputes unfold when problems are not addressed early. In 2018, she shifted her focus to transactional work and began concentrating on franchise matters and commercial leasing. She earned her law degree after completing her undergraduate studies and later built a practice grounded in careful review and practical advice. This mix of courtroom and transactional experience shapes how she helps clients think ahead and avoid unnecessary conflict.
Outside the office, she enjoys life in the Allegheny Mountains, spending time outdoors with her family and dogs and slowing down with a good book when winter sets in.
