Robert G. Marks

I retained the services of Rob regarding a secondary buyout transaction. Shortly post the engagement of his firm, Rob quickly understood the business dynamic behind the transaction and provided sound, thoughtful and practical advice with the transaction that had a nexus with multiple foreign jurisdic...tions. I would highly recommend Rob.

Rob is a fantastic M&A and corporate attorney. Rob has provided exceptional advice on a number of issues for us. He has been a constant source of referrals and has helped our business grow significantly. He can reduce complex situations to the few key points that you really need to understand to mak...e a decision, and doesn't waste time on legalese. Super responsive and very easy to work with. I've worked with some of the largest law firms (including Rob's former employer K&E) and he can deliver the same level of service at a reasonable cost structure. I've also reached out to Rob on legal issues outside of his areas of expertise, and he's the first person to recommend we look for more specialized counsel, which I really appreciated.

Rob served as our M&A attorney when we sold two of our software/SaaS companies. He came highly recommended from a trusted friend in the private equity industry. Rob is exceptionally knowledgeable, thorough and responsive. His brilliance shines once you see how he digests say a 200 page contract and p...oints out every potential issue and offers ways to negotiate through them, ensuring the client is protected while also moving the deal forward. His extensive experience is also very reassuring - it helped to sooth nerves as we went through the [quite stressful] M&A process. I also like Rob's flat fee model - basically you pay a flat fee plus a success fee that only gets paid if the deal is executed. I never felt I was being nickeled and dimed, and there were no surprising fees. In sum, working with Rob was a pleasure and I highly recommend him.

Rob represented our management team in the review and negotiation of complex employment and equity agreements with a private investors. This is the second time I have been "at the table" with Rob. Excellent choice for management as well as representing private equity. He raised, prompted, dealt wi...th and counseled management to resolve numerous interrelated legal and business issues. Always assertive and clear; always in a timely manner.

My firm, Prime Investments, was the sell-side adviser on a very complicated recapitalization involving three private equity firms. Rob Marks of Tomlinson Advisory provided legal representation to the seller. Buyer was represented by a large team at a Wall Street law firm. Rob Marks and Tomlinson di...d a great job negotiating favorable terms for the seller in all the various legal docs. Rob also oversaw and coordinated seller's response to buyer's voluminous disclosure document requests. Rob was always available and responsive throughout the process. All in all, Rob Marks did a great job and Prime would be certainly recommend his firm to anyone needing legal representation in an M&A deal.
