Cathy, an essential member of McNees for nearly 20 years, serves the Corporate & Tax and Real Estate Practice Groups assisting several attorneys with the formation, amending, merging, and dissolution of entities in Pennsylvania and other states, as well as with complex transactional work.  In addition, she assists in the process of onboarding our young associates and incoming paralegals and continues to provide them with practical guidance.
