Partner and Co-Founder
Philadelphia, PA
A client once described Bob as “a lawyer who thinks like a venture capitalist.” It’s no surprise then that Bob co-founded Practus, LLP. Although Practus disrupts the traditional law firm model, one thing that hasn’t changed is Bob’s role as a trusted advisor to national and international clients. He has a knack for explaining complex subjects in a way that allows clients to make wise decisions.
Bob’s practice focuses primarily on investment funds and technology companies. He also serves as outside general counsel to several wealth managers and tech start-ups. As a business lawyer with tax savvy, he regularly advises entrepreneurs and owners of new companies on tax planning ideas, and he has handled hundreds of reorganizations, mergers, and acquisitions. Whether doing pro-bono counsel to special needs children or launching an innovative law firm, Bob solves legal problems with the wisdom and good judgment that comes from 30 years of experience.
Bob has appeared on Nasdaq Trade Talks and has been quoted in U.S. News & World Report, ABA Journal, and other leading publications. But he’s most proud of the ridiculous amount of music trivia floating around in his head at all times – which he routinely uses to wow his wife, his hard-to-impress sons, and complete strangers at cocktail parties. Do you know what two #1 hits were sung by two different people with the same name? Bob does.
For your life to be worth anything you must sooner or later face the possibility of terrible, searing regret. Though you must also manage to avoid it or your life will be ruined
