WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Restaurant Association announced Robin Repass as executive director and chief legal counsel of the Restaurant Law Center (RLC), the independent public policy organization created specifically to represent the interests of the food service industry in the courts.
Repass is a strategic litigation and public policy leader with experience representing business owners in federal, state and appellate courts with a focus on workplace safety, employment litigation and regulatory compliance, RLC said. She has built and led multistakeholder coalitions, bringing together trade associations, outside counsel, government officials and industry leaders to protect business interests, particularly in the hospitality and foodservice sector, according to the center.
"The Restaurant Law Center is the center-point for the National Restaurant Association's work correcting unfair marketplace practices and regulatory overreach impacting the restaurant industry. Robin has an exceptional breadth of experience and knowledge that make her the right leader for the RLC," said Michelle Korsmo, president & CEO of the National Restaurant Association. "With more than 20 years engaged as inhouse and outside legal counsel, and her extensive understanding of policymaking and commitment to coalition building, she is the courtroom advocate the restaurant industry needs safeguarding our place as engines of opportunity, connection, and economic growth."
