About
Rob is an accomplished attorney who founded Sui Generis after recognizing a gap in legal education—particularly in the early stages of law school, where students are expected to master complex skills without sufficient opportunities to apply theory to practice. Drawing on his experience as both a Big Law litigator and an adjunct law professor, Rob built Sui Generis to give students from all backgrounds access to practical training that promotes long-term success—on exams, the bar, and in practice.​
​
Rob began his legal career after graduating cum laude from Penn Law, where he earned honors in legal writing. He went on to practice at leading firms, including Skadden and Ballard Spahr, managing complex commercial litigation and gaining experience in numerous areas of law—including contracts, government investigations and compliance, FDA regulations, antitrust, and consumer finance. Along the way, he mentored junior attorneys, designed associate training programs, and later taught Advanced Civil Procedure as an adjunct law professor.
​Through founding and leading Sui Generis, Rob has helped law students improve performance and reduce stress through targeted, outcome-based instruction. The experience of building a business from the ground up—navigating legal, operational, and strategic challenges—has not only benefited his students but also made him a stronger professional and lawyer. Today, Rob brings a deeper understanding of how law and business intersect and equips the next generation of lawyers with the tools they need to thrive through on-demand programming.
