Practicing primarily in the preeminent Delaware Court of Chancery, Robert Penza builds client confidence and trust by establishing a deep understanding of their concerns and objectives before recommending a pragmatic solution. Bob has extensive trial experience in all aspects of litigation practice before the Delaware Court of Chancery as well as the other state courts in Delaware.
His depth of experience comes from handling corporate and commercial and litigation matters, including representing officers, directors and companies in breach of fiduciary duty matters, post-merger disputes and limited liability company contract disputes. Also, Bob represents institutional and individual trustees and beneficiaries in trust litigation.
Bob has been independently appointed by the Delaware Court of Chancery to serve as a receiver and many times as attorney ad litem for minor beneficiaries involved in trust matters before the court.
