Paul Jones, Jr., and Birmingham Partner Jeremy Retherford. Additionally, Firm Managing Partner Stan Blanton serves on the Birmingham Regional Council of Leadership Alabama.

Robert's practice focuses on a wide variety of corporate and business-related matters. He regularly advises public and private companies through middle market mergers and acquisitions, and he also counsels startups, midsized businesses and large corporations on general matters such as commercial contracts, business planning and entity formation, capital raise efforts, corporate governance and reorganizations, debt and equity financings and economic development incentives. Robert works closely with our clients' legal and business teams through the entirety of the business life cycle—from entity formation, day-to-day corporate matters, owner exits and eventual dissolution.

Robert is an active member of the local community, participating in Volunteer Lawyers of Birmingham and the Rotaract Club of Birmingham. He also sits on the Executive Committee of the Birmingham Bar Association’s Young Lawyer Section and the Junior Board of the Levite Jewish Community Center.
