Professional Biography

When businesses need experienced, practical-minded counsel, they call Bobby, who leverages a thorough understanding of corporate and finance law to serve as an ally and trusted adviser to his clients. He counsels clients - ranging from early stage businesses to privately-held middle market companies to Fortune 500 companies - on all aspects of corporate transactions, including mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.  Bobby also represents private equity funds in portfolio company and bolt-on acquisitions. His experience extends into the commercial finance world, where he represents both borrowers and lenders in secured lending and finance transactions, including mezzanine credit facilities.  His practice extends into the sports realm, where he has advised a variety of sports entities and owners in corporate and contract matters.

As many of his clients have very few or no in-house attorneys, Bobby and the firm often serve as general outside counsel addressing legal issues, which allows business owners to focus on their business. Clients appreciate his practical approach to legal matters and his understanding of the law from a business perspective. 

Because he tailors his approach to fit each client’s distinct needs, Bobby is able to advise clients on general corporate issues, including commercial contracts, business succession, corporate governance and entity formation.
