Elected and Appointed

Saxton & Stump attorney Erik M. Hume was reelected as vice chair of the real property division for the Pennsylvania Bar Association real property, probate and trust law section.

The reelection marks Hume's second one-year term as vice chair.

First elected in May 2019, Hume is responsible for supervising and directing the work of the real property division, which includes legislative and professional development initiatives as well as serving on the section's executive committee.

In his practice, he handles a variety of matters including commercial and residential real estate transactions, land development, commercial loan origination and counseling of clients on condominium and planned community matters.
