Experience
Rob concentrates his practice on commercial litigation in a broad range of subject areas, as well as intellectual property counseling and litigation. Rob has a particular wealth of experience litigating disputes arising from corporate insolvencies, including investigating claims for receivers and representing them in the assertion of fraud, RICO, and professional liability claims. In addition, he has successfully represented clients in cases involving the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act, Title VII, breaches of contract, negligence, fraud, and intellectual property disputes. He also has represented plaintiffs in several class actions, in federal and state courts.
In his intellectual property and entertainment law practice, Rob has secured, protected, and enforced the valuable intellectual property rights, and drafted and negotiated agreements, for software developers, advertising firms, clothing designers, manufacturers, artists, musicians, libraries, and entertainment concerns.
Rob also advises business clients, both entities and individuals, of their contractual rights in such areas as employment, severance, independent contractor agreements, intellectual property and technology. Finally, he advises clients on internet and social media issues.
Before joining Robinson Curley, Rob worked in New York at the entertainment law and intellectual property litigation boutique Gold Farrell & Marks, where he represented entertainers and other media clients in lawsuits involving, among other things, fiduciary breaches, contractual breaches, and intellectual property rights. Prior to that, he was an associate at Proskauer Rose Goetz & Mendelsohn, where he worked on significant intellectual property, sports, and entertainment litigation matters.
