About
Rob is a senior attorney and business advisor with more than a decade of experience helping organizations navigate complex litigation, regulatory scrutiny, and operational risk. He is the founder of Sui Generis LSS, an education and training company he built and manages as its principal legal and strategic decision-maker.
​
Rob began his legal career after graduating cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where he earned honors in legal writing. He practiced at national law firms including Ballard Spahr, representing institutional clients in high-stakes commercial litigation, government investigations, and regulatory matters.
His work included evaluating exposure, supervising fact and expert discovery, leading motion practice, and advising business leaders on legal and reputational risk across areas such as consumer finance, antitrust, compliance, and contractual disputes.
​In addition to his client work, Rob mentored junior attorneys and led internal associate training programs. He later served as an adjunct professor teaching Advanced Civil Procedure, where he focused on helping students translate procedural doctrine into practical litigation strategy.
​
Rob founded Sui Generis after noticing a gap while practicing and teaching. Law students were expected to master complex skills without enough opportunities to apply theory in realistic settings.
As founder, he oversees all legal, contractual, and operational aspects of the business, including vendor and partnership agreements, intellectual-property strategy, risk management, and regulatory considerations. Building and operating the company has given him firsthand experience integrating legal analysis with business decision-making.
​
This experience informs Rob’s approach to legal counseling—pragmatic, risk-aware, and attentive to how legal decisions affect everyday business operations.
“Rob has the life/work experience and the consulting experience to really be an asset to law students. This service fills a hole in legal education assistance.”
