Litigation involving banks and financial services providers doesn't arise out of the ether; it is a product of a loan or other transaction that has gone sideways. Bob Groholski's extensive experience protecting his clients’ interests in litigation, coupled with his understanding of the deals at the center of the dispute, form the foundation of his successful banking and commercial litigation practice.

A seasoned trial lawyer, Bob understands that the counsel and guidance he provides outside the courtroom are as crucial to his clients as the formidable advocacy skills he brings inside. They need practical, business-oriented solutions to resolve troubled financing, real estate, or business transactions, and Bob delivers the consistently spot-on analysis that facilitates positive outcomes.  

Bob represents banks, mortgage lenders, and servicers in matters involving commercial foreclosures, workouts, and various payment methods businesses use in international transactions.

He counsels financial services providers regarding compliance with federal and state laws and regulations pertaining to foreclosure practices and provides robust representation when claims arise.

In his varied and diverse commercial litigation practice, Bob represents clients in matters involving breach of contract, fraud, fraudulent transfers, business torts, unfair competition, trade secrets, non-competition agreements, equitable remedies, and real estate disputes.

While always prepared to take matters to trial, Bob leverages his creativity and constructive working relationships with opposing counsel to achieve beneficial resolutions for his clients.

As a litigator, few things can match the satisfaction of winning a case for a client. But as a business lawyer, I recognize that the definition of 'winning' often includes outcomes reached outside the courtroom.
