My name is Deborah Schwab, and I am an experienced attorney with a background in real estate, contract negotiation, and corporate governance.
Currently, I am a transactional counsel with Priscott Legal, LLC, the partner law firm of Ontra.ai. In this remote role, I represent private equity and VC firms and negotiate a high volume of non-disclosure agreements, joinders, and other legal contracts. Prior to this, I served as legal counsel for PennTex Ventures, LLC, where I was responsible for negotiating, drafting, and reviewing contracts and agreements for sales and acquisition of real estate, lease negotiation, and resolving issues involving ancillary transactions. As the first in-house counsel for PTV, I was responsible for all legal and compliance matters and managed outside legal counsel.
Before joining PennTex Ventures, I worked as real estate counsel for 84 Lumber & Nemacolin Woodlands, Inc., where I acquired eleven properties with a portfolio value in excess of $15 million. Prior to this, I spent several years as an attorney and supervisor at CNX/Consol Energy, where I worked as a title attorney, trained and managed a team of title attorneys/analysts, conducted due diligence for large land transactions, and identified business/legal risk exposure for multi-state projects.
I received my Juris Doctor from Duquesne University and hold a Post Baccalaureate Paralegal Certificate from the same institution. Additionally, I earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pittsburgh.
I am also a court-appointed special advocate working as a volunteer with children who are in the foster care system.
Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I am always open to new opportunities and would be happy to connect with you.
