New Jersey real estate attorney Brett Wiltsey departed from two leadership positions at Dilworth Paxson recently, including leader of the firm’s Cherry Hill office, bringing his book of business to Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel.

Wiltsey began in the business and finance department at Obermayer’s Mount Laurel office July 1. He said his move coincides with a build-up of client demand following court closures and business interruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Amid an increasingly competitive lateral hiring market, Wiltsey sought to practice law at a firm that was “more fast paced and had a little more depth on the corporate side,” he said in an interview Wednesday.
