Rob started his career in New York City, as an associate at mega law firms Dewey Ballantine and later Weil Gotshal & Manges. After returning home to Boston, he was partner at small and midsize Boston law firms, most recently over the 15-year period 2004 to 2019 at Engel & Schultz, LLP.

The five key changes or “pivots” in Rob Adelson’s legal career, are reflected in a slide show prepared for his 20-minute presentation on Pivoting for one of the 2021 ENET meetings. From these five pivots mentioned in his 2021 ENET presentation, Rob has achieved his present market niche, representing CEOs, C-Level and senior executives. His law practice with these clients has never been busier, and it is his hope that this may continue for many years to come.
