Chuhak & Tecson, P.C. proudly announces that Robert (Bobby) Strauss has joined the firm as a principal. A talented dealmaker and trusted business counselor, Strauss brings equal measures of dollars-and-cents analytics, meticulous attention to detail and creative and entrepreneurial big-picture thinking to his work on a wide range of corporate, real estate finance, healthcare and banking matters.

Strauss represents national, regional and community banks and private lenders in lending transactions and also regularly serves as outside general counsel to family-held businesses and entrepreneurs. While Strauss’s 25 years of vast experience extends across multiple industries, he is particularly well-versed in the representation of healthcare providers and practices, including physicians, dentists and related oral health specialists and veterinarians.

Firm president Mitch Weinstein says that he is excited to introduce Strauss to the firm’s clients because of the unique combination of talents and perspectives he brings to the table.

“It is a well-worn cliché that lawyers and numbers supposedly don’t mix. You can’t say that about Bobby,” Weinstein says. “What makes him special is that he complements his mathematical and scientific background with an innate understanding of how and why deals get done or fall apart. Bobby can quickly identify the bottom-line upsides and downsides of a transaction while also leveraging his impressive dealmaking instincts to get all stakeholders pulling in the same direction.”

For his part, Strauss expresses equivalent enthusiasm about joining Chuhak & Tecson, seeing not only an alignment between the substance of his practice and the firm’s service offerings but also a shared perspective on how to counsel and serve clients.

“Between its extensive capabilities in financial services, corporate, real estate matters and healthcare law, the firm is just a natural fit for me and what I do,” Strauss says. “But what sealed the deal for me was the way the attorneys here approach their work. It is a palpable sense of commitment to do right by their clients and a determination to get them to where they want to be, whatever that takes. They also happen to have that rare combination of professional and personable that makes it a joy to work here.”
