Rebecca Gwilt launched Elevare Law to redefine legal partnerships for healthcare and technology innovators. With over a decade of experience advising pioneering digital health, AI, and virtual care companies, she blends deep regulatory expertise with a future-driven, business-first approach. From launch to exit, Rebecca provides strategic legal counsel that removes friction, mitigates risk, and accelerates growth.

Rebecca co-founded and led the country's first boutique healthcare innovation law firm for over a decade, guiding hundreds of companies through complex regulatory landscapes, helping them pivot, scale, innovate, and succeed. Prior to private practice, she worked with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and served as National Healthcare Policy Advisor at CGI, a global leader in health reform technology. These experiences shaped her commitment to legal counsel that is practical, proactive, policy-informed, and aligned with each client’s vision, budget, and goals.

At Elevare, Rebecca partners with healthcare visionaries, helping them anticipate challenges, seize opportunities, and build lasting impact. She believes legal should be more than risk management—it should be a catalyst for transformation.

Rebecca is also a passionate advocate for BIPOC and female founders, advising early stage companies, and mentoring startups through accelerators like Plug and Play, Texas Medical Center Innovations, and TechStars. A seeker of joy, investor in underestimated founders, karaoke samurai, expat adventurer, and kindness enthusiast, she lives in Lisbon, Portugal with her husband, three sons, and a playful bernedoodle named Sally.
