Brett C. Flower

Associate

Overview

Brett is an associate in the Labor & Employment Group specializing in advising municipal and public sector clients on all matters of operations. Her career has primarily been focused on administrative law representing municipalities, Commonwealth agencies, and private clients, often before the Pennsylvania appellate courts. A stint outside of the private sector saw Brett as counsel for the Pennsylvania Health Insurance Exchange Authority d/b/a Pennie™ in preparation for, and then during, its inaugural year as the health insurance exchange for the citizens of Pennsylvania. In that time, Brett advised the agency on regulatory compliance, policy matters, and represented the agency before the Department of State defending against customer appeals. Previously, Brett worked for a Camp Hill based law firm in their civil litigation, municipal, and administrative law practice groups.

Prior to pursing a legal career, Brett graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Policy and Planning and a minor in Watershed Management. Passionate about conservation and natural resources, Brett decided to attend law school as the most effective avenue to explore the environmental issues of a modern world. With this background, Brett has concentrated growing her practice in the areas of zoning, real estate, and development.
