He has over 30 years of experience in bankruptcy, commercial litigation, and workouts. Bob is a Distinguished Practitioner in Residence at Quinnipiac University School of Law where he teaches bankruptcy and commercial transactions.

His litigation experience encompasses preference, fraudulent conveyance, valuation, and director and officer liability matters.
