About Robert

Learn Robert’s areas of practice.

A seasoned business executive turned lawyer, Rob Northrop has spent most of his professional career in real estate development, investments, and business operations. Much of that time was spent managing a variety of complex and sophisticated issues, playing the pivotal role of managing lawyers and “bet the company” high stakes litigation. His business experience has given him considerable insight in client relations.  He knows what clients want because he sat in that chair for several years and know first-hand the frustrations clients go through. Northrop knows the importance of mitigating risk while maximizing profit. He focus on being efficient and effective in solving the problem, instead of dragging out the fight at the expense of the client. But if a fight is required, Rob will zealously advocate a client’s interest, in a civil and professional manner - at the negotiation table, and in the courtroom.  Transparency, communication, responsiveness and simplified explanation are keys to client retention, satisfaction, and building trust and rapport. 

Our job is to treat you with respect, listen to and understand your concerns, advise you on your legal matters and advocate your position in pursuit of the best possible outcome. Litigation can be one of the most financially and emotionally taxing experiences people and companies must battle during the course of day to day life. Northrop stands by his clients to counsel them through some of the most difficult and legally complex situations that can occur in the state. It is not just the legal issues at stake, but the personal difficulties that many clients face when going through the dispute.

We pay particular attention to advising clients in such a way that respects their struggle. We do this in part by holding the responsible parties accountable and, in doing so, providing you with high quality representation without ruining your balance sheet. Our fees are reasonable enough to give you the ability to meet the costs and expenses that have arisen as a result of this unfortunate situation.

You will understand your case, and you will be kept informed. Northrop will work with you to build a case that is based on a thorough investigation of the facts coupled with a well-thought-out legal strategy. Northrop places client service at the forefront of the practice because it provides the framework within which we build this case to protect our clients’ rights and to bring about a balance of justice in the legal system. His overall litigation strategy is precise, calculated, and aggressive.

When Northrop isn’t advocating on behalf of his clients, he volunteers for the Arizona Association of Realtors as a mediator and arbitrator for the Professional Standards Committee and Grievance Committee. There, he resolves ethics disputes between Realtors and members of the public, and business disputes between brokers and realtors.  He was recently appointed Vice-chair for the professional standards committee for 2018. He also volunteers as a competition judge for the America Mock Trial Association, Arizona High School Mock Trial Program, and We the People… The Citizen and the Constitution.  During college and prior to law school Rob was a volunteer and mentor for several years as a big brother in the Big Brother/Big Sister program.  Otherwise, he is enjoying the great outdoors Arizona offers, and spending time with friends and family.

Terrific strategy & writer
I approached and worked with Rob on a business matter. After a discussion, Rob wrote a superb and articulate letter that within two days received a response, and we reached a settlement to our satisfaction in short order. Rob has vast business experience as well which provides insight and the ability to forecast future risks. I truly endorse and recommend you consult and work with Rob for any matters involving entity formation, business, real estate, and litigation. He will be a strong advocate for you.

Excellent attorney, highly recommended
I sought Mr. Northrop's counsel to review an existing business contract. He was incredibly thorough and reviewed it line by line personally with me present. He ensured that I was clear on the language, always seeking to revise it so that it had my best interests at heart while remaining fair. He helped me to consider the most appropriate options that may arise in difficult situations, and helped me to feel secure and protected. Finally, he was very practical, never tenacious or directly seeking a challenge. He always encouraged me to speak directly with my business owner and handle things amenably first, without ever needing to take it to an attorney. I really appreciated his common sense, grounded approach to business and business relationships. He is very knowledgeable regarding the law, and I just really felt very comfortable with him, and as if he truly did have my best interests at heart. He will not waste your time, but also will take all the necessary time you need to handle whatever situation you may be dealing with. For business counsel and contract reviews, I could not recommend another attorney more highly.

Knowledge with integrity
Rob came highly recommended from a good friend and fellow business owner and entrepreneur. He spent over two hours thoroughly reviewing and going over a partnership agreement with me. Answering all my questions and explaining exactly what was left open to litigation and exactly what needed to be amended. Rob’s knowledge in business law is astounding and his counsel was 10x what I paid. If you’re looking for a highly component and straight forward attorney go with Rob Northrop.

Honest and knowledgeable
Rob consulted with me on an issue that I had with a former employee and laid out all of the potential actions and outcomes. He backed them all up with approximate costs and then asked if there was any way to end the dispute without taking legal action. We had a case and would have won, but he was right in that it wasn't the best course of action for me and my company to take in the long run. While I didn't hire him in the long run, I was very impressed with his knowledge and honesty which helped me avoid spending unneeded energy and money on the situation.

Commercial Photographer
I hired Rob to create a master service agreement for my commercial photography business. I wanted a contract that could cover the whole project scope and unique copyright usage for each of my clients. Rob was extremely professional, friendly and easy to communicate with. We talked about my services in depth and he made sure to understand what I wanted to achieve with the contract. He described each part of the contract and what it covered. He was able to answer all the crazy hypothetical questions that I had and made sure that my contract would cover everything that I needed it to; From making sure that my contract made sense to my clients all the way up to making sure my intellectual property rights are protected. I would definitely recommend Rob to anyone looking for professional legal advice for their business.

The perfect guy for the job
When i went to robert i was in a bad place during my divorce proceedings. He took me by the hand and explained to me my optons. He was honest and deliberate. He worked quickly and efficiently. His advice was instrumental to me and my children. I was able to settle my divorce in my favor and was beyond satisfied with his advice and direction. I felt like i had a champion fighting for me. He continues to be a great source of legal advice for me. I do not know where i would be if not for his expert legal advice.

Brilliant young lawyer
I have had the pleasure of working with Rob on a number of projects related to my business. He helped craft a book contract that I used for my newest book project. His work was thorough and ensured that with my future co-author we would have the foundation for a win win contract. He has reviewed numerous contracts for my company to ensure that our interests were protected. When looking for an attorney, I want someone that understands the details. Nothing gets by Rob in the process. He sees what others miss. And when things get missed, it can cost the company (and me as the owner) money. If you want someone that will advocate on your best interests, then Rob is your guy.

Legal expertise with great business savvy
Rob is a very smart attorney. He formed two companies for me and created a comprehensive contract, proposals and other agreement templates that I use for all my businesses. He was thorough and made it easy for me to understand the importance of certain clauses that put my faith in using him for all my business and legal needs.
