Bob is a highly experienced complex commercial litigator and public company general counsel who brings a unique perspective to these roles, having spent much of his career prosecuting securities fraud, accountants’ liability, and corporate fiduciary actions on behalf of large, sophisticated investors and public pension funds.  His extensive experience as a trial lawyer includes obtaining one of the few class action securities fraud verdicts on behalf of plaintiffs since the passage of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, which the trial court described as “the best tried case I’ve witnessed in my years on the bench.”  Bob’s experience as a successful trial attorney capitalizing on mistakes made in the C-suites and board rooms of his adversaries gives him an enhanced ability to identify potential red flags and minimize litigation risk when advising his corporate clients and negotiating transactions, which includes having overseen over $150 million in public offerings and private placements over the past several years.  Bob’s expertise in securities fraud, accountants’ liability and corporate governance also allows him to engage as a peer with auditors and other outside professionals regarding materiality and disclosure matters, further enhancing his effectiveness as a general counsel.
