Company Sale

I hired Robert Hutchins to help me with the sale of my company. Robert is the most thorough and honest attorney I have ever worked with. In a situation that was far from cut and dry, he offered a clear and concise perspective and pragmatic approach. His timely response and accessibility are unprece...dented. I felt at ease with Robert on my side and will absolutely plan to use his legal services when needed in the future.

For Purchase of a Company

Bob handled my purchase of an 80 year old family held company that had been in the family for 60 years. It was a very complicated transaction and took an extreme amount of patience and expertise in order to successfully navigate through all of the family issues and a minority stockholder issue. It ...was an 18 month transaction. Bob was outstanding at guiding me and yet clearly understanding my mind in the purchase process. Bob was brilliant in the transaction and was patient in moving around the difficult obstacles that were inherent in this transaction. Some of the obstacles were human emotional and family issues that Bob was outstanding at incorporating this element into his transactional guidance. It has been 4 years since we concluded the purchase and what Bob did was set the purchase transaction up so there has not been one hint of any hiccup or challenge in thee last 4 years. He did it right the first time which eliminated any challenges after we took ownership. Bob listened extremely well and designed the transaction to deal with all of those needs.

Brilliant Attorney

Bob handled my business sale with expertise and creativity, suggesting we set up a blind auction between the three interested parties which produced a significantly higher ultimate sales price with better terms. He was also kind during the stressful sales process and provided great counsel. I highly ...recommend working with Bob in any capacity.

Corporate Lawyer

Bob has been our corporate lawyer since the founding of our company in the late 70's. He helped us through the initial formation as well as an ownership change. I would highly recommend him.

Bob handled a critical licensing issue we had and handled it very carefully and swiftly to make the outcome ideal! He had our best interest in the forefront to insure a successful outcome.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
