About Rebecca
Rebecca Weissman entered law school after an undergraduate degree in economics and political science at the University of Oregon. She completed both a J.D. at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law and an MBA at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management in 2018. Her academic path combined legal training and business study, and it set the stage for a practice that moves between courtrooms and complex transactional settings.
Her early years after law school included bar admissions in multiple jurisdictions. She is a member of the Illinois State Bar and the District of Columbia Bar, and she is admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Those admissions give her standing in both state and federal forums and have shaped the geographic reach of her work.
Weissman is on the roster at Loftus & Eisenberg, Ltd, where she carries responsibilities that involve client counseling and litigation. Colleagues describe her as methodical in case preparation and attentive to procedural detail. Her background in business and law informs how she evaluates risk and structures legal strategies, especially when matters raise both legal and financial questions.
Outside the firm, she serves on the board of The Next Generation Society at the ACLU of Illinois. That role connects her to civic and civil liberties efforts and to other lawyers who take on policy and public-interest issues. She holds current memberships in both the District of Columbia and Illinois bars, which supports a practice that can span different forums and types of matters.
Weissman combines trial admissions and academic training in ways that allow her to move between litigation and counseling tasks. She has handled matters that required attention to procedural rules in federal court and to the differing standards of state tribunals. Her business training also informs how she communicates complex legal concepts to clients who must make strategic decisions.
In the office she is known for organizing discovery and for preparing documents that map legal risk against business consequences. Outside of work, she has maintained ties to alumni networks from Northwestern and to professional groups in Illinois and Washington, D.C. Her current practice focuses on representing clients in matters arising in her admitted jurisdictions and on navigating both federal and state court procedures.
