Practice Areas

Rob Lang is a business litigator who prevents and represents clients in complex business disputes, including business divorces.

Business divorces, where owners no longer get along, can affect everyone from individuals to multi-billion-dollar companies. They also frequently crop up when, during the formation of a new business, the owners do not pay close enough attention to operating agreements or shareholder agreements — or unwisely forgo such agreements altogether.

Rob also works closely with his clients to prepare a good “prenuptial agreement” for their business that accounts for the various trigger points of conflict that he has seen over the course of almost 30 years of practicing law.

If litigation proves necessary, Rob is highly experienced in navigating the complex intersection of litigation, corporate, employment, trusts and estates, and other areas of the law that frequently accompany these disputes.

Rob’s general litigation experience includes the successful resolution of complex contractual and other business disputes in various industries, including real estate, manufacturing, agribusiness, health care, professional services, sports, transportation, higher education, and energy.

Rob is a member of the Thompson Coburn Management Committee.
