KOHLER LAW

KOHLER LAW'S MISSION

Kohler Law’s mission has always been to provide experienced former in-house General Counsel/Senior Counsel attorneys for the same hourly rate as a first year associate at other firms – we’ve nailed the model and our clients save over 50% on legal fees.

More than 20% of our clients have in-house counsel and use Kohler Law as-needed for overflow support. Our objective is not to displace a client’s big firm (that handles financing, M&A transactions and complex litigation), but to save money on day-to-day legal functions that support a business. For example sales, licensing and commercial agreements, IP, HR/employment, etc.

Our virtual law firm model and low overhead benefits our clients through cost control, responsiveness and access to senior-level attorneys who integrate with your team and ramp up quickly for any type of project.

About Robert

I founded Kohler Law Group over 20 years ago and the firm has represented 100’s of venture-backed, private, and publicly traded companies. In addition to being involved in the legal field I have real-world business experience as a successful entrepreneur and have founded and exited several technology companies. I also was a restaurateur having been a founding partner at the San Francisco famous restaurant, Sauce.

I spend my time mostly in Las Vegas.During the winter, you’ll catch me skiing and boarding in Tahoe and during the summer you’ll find me mountain biking, sailing in the SF Bay, rock climbing, and wind surfing (and wine tasting).

Short list of some of the companies that I founded: SiteMail was sold to XOOM and I worked with management to take the company public, did a secondary and ultimately selling to NBC. I co-founded Castfire – a video publishing platform for clients such as Google/Next New Networks, CBS Interactive, ESPN/Disney, Comcast, CNET, PBS and NPR stations, and hundreds more – Castfire was purchased by www.wideorbit.com

My passion is solving problems, connecting people, and ensuring that clients are taken care of.
