10/10/17

Royer Cooper Cohen Braunfeld LLC (RCCB), a law firm offering a distinctive combination of practical business acumen, legal expertise and entrepreneurial passion, today launched their International Practice Group. To support the launch, RCCB has hired Jacquelyn A. Kunkel, Associate, and Ana-Maria Satmar, Law Clerk (pending admission to the Pennsylvania bar). Both Kunkel and Satmar come to RCCB with varied experience and are expected to strengthen the firm’s international capabilities.

Partner David Gitlin, a distinguished international lawyer, joined the firm earlier this year and has been working with Dustin Covello, Partner of the Tax Group, on a number of international matters, adding to the cross-border matters the firm was already handling. The launching of the International Group, along with Kunkel and Satmar’s hiring, allows the firm to expand the type of international counsel they provide to clients.
