The short version

Robert spent the first part of his career where the stakes were highest: advising the C-suite of a publicly traded company, and before that drafting for Utah's largest law firm. He has reviewed and negotiated contracts with billion-dollar counterparties, structured entities, chaired an AI oversight committee, and built privacy and compliance programs supporting operations in more than fifteen jurisdictions.

Earlier he spent eight years in chief-of-staff roles supporting executive leadership at a global organization with roughly 30,000 employees. That is where the preference for working process over polished memoranda comes from — documents that sit in a binder do not help anyone at the moment the decision has to be made.

He founded SunCrest Law to bring that work directly to the people who need it and are least likely to get it: owners, families, and companies too small to carry a legal department but too exposed to go without one.

What that means for your matter

If you are a family

You get an attorney who has handled complex, high-value work and brings the same care to a will, a guardianship petition, or a probate that he brought to an eight-figure negotiation. Plain explanations, a flat fee where the work allows one, and no sense that your matter is too small to take seriously.

If you are a business

You get someone who has been on the inside — who knows what a board actually needs, what diligence really turns up, and which risks are worth paying to eliminate versus living with. That judgment is harder to buy than drafting, and it is the part that saves money.

Background

Robert practices in English and Spanish, studied law in Paris as well as Boston, and chairs the Cyberlaw Section of the Utah State Bar. He writes and speaks on AI governance, privacy, and the compliance questions that come with operating across borders.

His 2011 article in the Human Rights Brief examined French law on religious freedom — early work in the comparative-law interest that later became a practice spanning more than a dozen jurisdictions.
