Over his 35-year career, Bob has represented clients in a wide variety of commercial cases, including intellectual property licenses, patents, trademarks, franchises and distributorships, professional negligence, asset and stock purchase agreements, environmental cost recovery and insurance coverage, e-commerce and information technology, trusts and estates, dissolutions of closely held businesses, real estate, and condemnation, and a whole range of other typical business disputes.

Bob takes a practical approach to each matter, understanding his client’s goals and objectives.  He provides the client with both a legal and economic perspective in the context of any litigation.  He looks for imaginative ways to resolve each dispute but, when necessary, is prepared to use his trial experience to achieve the client’s desired approach.

Utilizing his litigation experience, Bob is often called upon to counsel the firm’s clients in various business transactions in order to eliminate or reduce the risk of litigation.
