As a litigator with nearly 40 years of lead counsel experience, I appreciate that every client’s approach to litigation is not the same. Some clients expect me to take an aggressive no-stone-left-unturned approach, while others may direct me to resolve a case early on in the process, as expeditiously and inexpensively as possible. I am able to develop strategies at either end of that spectrum, as well those in between, to achieve the client’s objectives. Of course, best serving the client’s needs is always my primary goal.
Bob Boos represents clients both at trial and in arbitration/mediation across the country in litigation involving products, contracts, shipping, commercial leases, employment, construction, real estate, banking, securities, insurance and health care – in virtually any type of business dispute. He has also handled class action defense matters, both in state and federal courts.
Drawing on his experience as lead attorney on hundreds of complex litigation matters, including most recently state-wide tobacco litigation, he strategically manages lawsuits/arbitration throughout the process by gaining as much knowledge as possible about his client, the client’s business, opposing counsel and the court or panel.
Bob also serves clients in contract based industries of all kinds, by drafting, editing and interpreting contracts, using a keenly experienced eye to identify and correct potential trouble spots so as to minimize litigation, thus saving his clients time, energy and money.
Bob is an “old-school lawyer” – a tough, hard-nosed litigator who’s always willing to go the distance in a case if that is what it takes, but always with an eye towards quickly resolving the dispute through mediation, by dispositive motions, or otherwise.
Given recent COVID-19 related restrictions to courts, lawyers and clients, Bob has become highly proficient in handling matters via alternate technology, such as Zoom and other digital displays.
“ I’ve litigated all types of matters, in all types of forums, against all types of adversaries, in front of all types of judges. I adapt well to the legal environment I am in, and plan to prevail. ”
