About

Rob is a member of the firm's Management Committee. His active business litigation practice focuses on complex commercial disputes in the federal courts, including false and deceptive trade practice and false advertising claims, commercial fraud and misrepresentation claims, trade libel, products liability, civil RICO, and breach of fiduciary duty claims, as well as disputes involving intellectual property including trademark, trade dress and copyright litigation. He is also one of New Hampshire's most experienced litigators on the scope and application of the New Hampshire Consumer Protection Act, NH RSA 358-A, as applied in both consumer against business and business against business cases in New Hampshire's state and federal courts. Rob is also a seasoned appellate advocate before the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Rob also handles certain commercial real estate litigation issues, including nuisance claims, franchise disputes, and Constitutional litigation claims under 42 USC 1983, including equal protection, due process and bad faith claims brought against municipalities, boards and elected officials on behalf of developers and other commercial interests attempting to construct or expand operations. Rob chairs the firm's Land Use Litigation Group and is frequently called upon to handle continuous permitting issues before local land use boards, or to take over the litigation of these issues in the state and federal courts. Rob is an aggressive litigator who is well-versed in electronic discovery and the collection of electronically stored information (ESI) and in the latest technologies available to efficiently develop and prepare a case for trial. He has successfully tried cases to juries, judges and administrative tribunals in the state and federal systems. That said, Rob also appreciates that in many cases, skillfully mediating a dispute prior to trial can produce the optimal business outcome while simultaneously fixing risk, and he has extensive experience preparing cases for mediation and bringing cases to successful conclusion in that forum.
