In an environment of ever larger and increasingly
sophisticated real estate transactions, seasoned players
know that title insurance is far from being a mere
check-the-box commodity. With the right title team of
advisors and professionals, it is a valuable deal tool: to
get lenders the financial strength they require in relation
to the size of their policies; to get owners and developers
the structural flexibility they need for unique and
forward-looking coverages; and to get attorneys the service
they must have in a demanding marketplace where there is no
choice but to get it right, and right on time.
Rob received his B.A., magna cum laude, from Harvard College
