Since joining the firm, Bob has concentrated his practice in complex commercial litigation, representing (i) business clients of the firm in a variety of commercial litigation matters, (ii) owners, general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers in construction and related litigation, (iii) local, regional and national banks in transaction and lending-related disputes, and in creditors’ rights matters, and (iv) many other individuals and businesses in general commercial litigation.
