Levy brings years of experience as an attorney counseling entrepreneurs, investors and executives in addition to holding various C-Level Executive roles.

Prior to joining RCCB, Levy was a partner at the international law firm Duane Morris. Before Duane Morris, Levy served as Vice President and Corporate Counsel of Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. (NYSE:SFE), a provider of capital to emerging and growth-stage healthcare and technology companies.
Earlier in his career, Levy practiced law at two national law firms. He is also a successful entrepreneur, having co-founded two companies – VarsityBooks.com Inc., an e-commerce company focused on the sale of college textbooks, and The K-12 Group, Inc., a company that provided various services to parents and teachers of school-age children.
“My proven ability in building companies from the ground up, combined with years of experience practicing law, makes me a great fit for the entrepreneurial culture that defines RCCB,” said Levy. “I look forward to joining the RCCB team and providing our clients with the counsel necessary to achieve their goals.”
Levy earned his J.D., with honors, from The George Washington University Law School and his B.A. from Columbia University. He is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania, Virginia, the District of Columbia and the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
RCCB’s other new hire, Jessica Itzkowitz, advises clients in various litigation areas, including business and commercial, employment, and intellectual property.
