Lawrence Kamin partner Robert L.

In fact, Bob was selected by his peers as a top Illinois lawyer in three categories-Corporate Finance, Mergers and Acquisitions, and Securities and Venture Finance-in the Leading Lawyers Network Magazine, recent Business Editions.
Before joining Lawrence Kamin in 2003, Bob spent most of his legal career at Altheimer & Gray, where he was once chairman of its corporate department. After graduating law school, Bob clerked for a federal district court judge. While attending Northwestern University Law School, Bob taught accounting part-time at

Bob leverages both his law and CPA background to handle transactions ranging from less than $1 million up to $3.6 billion. The latter transaction involved his representation of the purchasers of Montgomery Ward from Mobile Oil Corporation.
In addition to his participation on the board of the Council for the Jewish Elderly, the Jewish Federation and Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago, Bob serves as a member of the board of directors and as a trustee for many of his clients.
