About Robert

Bob uses his 30+ years of restructuring experience to guide companies and their boards of directors in Chapter 11 and out-of-court restructurings, help assignees generate value for creditors in assignments for the benefit of creditors (ABCs), and maximize recoveries for creditors’ committees and creditors in a host of restructuring and related matters. Bob has developed a national reputation for helping clients deal with the intersection of intellectual property and bankruptcy law, representing licensors, licensees and others on these complex issues.

For 30+ years I have been focused on getting results for clients by keeping an eye on the big picture, offering expertise and good judgment and keeping a cool head.
