Biography

After her first stressful decade as an insolvency attorney, Rebecca R. DeMarb started repeating the mantra, to ‘live with Integrity’. No matter the circumstances, she comes back to that mantra to determine the best way forward for her clients and the companies she has in receivership. This mantra, along with her caffeinated practice and willingness to be creative in finding both the best business and legal solution, drives her practice. The most rewarding part of Rebecca’s career has been building professional relationships. Rebecca is the founder of the Wisconsin Network of the IWIRC. She remains a co-chair of the Wisconsin Network, founded IWIRC on the Lakes, and is enjoying her new position with the International Board. Along with IWIRC, Rebecca has served on the Milwaukee Committee for Turnaround Management Association, the Central States Advisory Board for the American Bankruptcy Institute, and the Board for the Creditor’s Rights Section of the State Bar of Wisconsin. Rebecca represents businesses and other interested parties regionally in bankruptcy, state court receiverships, sales of business assets and out-of-court business reorganizations. She serves as the receiver for operating and liquidating businesses, and for real estate matters.
