Prior to joining Rower LLC in 2023, Francesca was a corporate associate at Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP and Mintz LLP. She focused her practice on capital markets transactions and leveraged finance. She represented public and private companies in a variety of industries, including financial services, technology, and healthcare.
In her pro bono practice, Francesca represented several clients seeking asylum in the United States. Her passion for advocacy led her to transition to matrimonial and family law, where she enjoys both the transactional and litigation aspects of her practice.
