Brenda joined DOC in August 2006, after having provided outside legal services to the company since its inception. She specializes in transactional law, providing a broad range of counsel and services in banking, real estate, and general corporate matters. These services include commercial lending, loan restructuring, real estate acquisitions, development and financing, commercial leasing, construction contracts and disputes, title insurance, corporate structuring, employment contracts, and corporate acquisitions.

Brenda started her legal career as an associate with a law firm, where she represented small- to medium-sized business entities, national and regional lenders and borrowers in real estate-based financing transactions and real estate acquisition and development. While at that firm, she became legal counsel for the Stadium Authority of the City of Pittsburgh, providing guidance on compliance with municipal law, drafting and negotiating operating agreements and leases, and facilitating the acquisition and development of the property necessary for the construction of Pittsburgh’s Heinz Stadium and PNC Park. She was awarded partnership in the law firm after only six years.

In July of 2000, Brenda joined Thorp, Reed & Armstrong, where she worked as Special Counsel in the financial institutions practice, and continued to represent national and regional lenders and borrowers. Thereafter and until returning to private practice in 2003, she served as in-house legal counsel to a Pittsburgh-based real estate developer who owns and operates both shopping centers and office buildings throughout the eastern portion of the country.

Brenda graduated from Clark University in 1988 with a bachelor of arts degree. She received her Juris Doctor cum laude from Suffolk University Law School.
