Rob Enayati is a passionate, business-minded attorney who utilizes his more than a decade worth of transactional experience to achieve his clients’ objectives and advocate for their interests.  Rob has a unique perspective in the practice of law that informs his representation of his clients:  he has been both the attorney and the client.

Rob Enayati regularly represents specialty finance companies, investment advisors, and other financial institutions in a wide array of commercial transactions, such as structuring and negotiating bank partnerships, forward flow arrangements, and asset-based loan facilities collateralized by pools of small business loans, factored receivables and merchant cash advances, consumer loans, auto warranty contracts, patents and licensing rights, mortgage loans and SFR properties, non-performing loans, microloans in emerging markets, structured settlements, and other pools of homogenous or semi-homogenous collateral assets. Previously, Rob was the first general counsel of an alternative credit fund based in Los Angeles where he lead the foreclosure of two fintech companies: a small business lender and a point-of-sale consumer lender. Prior to his role as general counsel, Rob practiced in the New York, Hong Kong and Los Angeles offices Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Gibson Dunn, each of which are consistently ranked among the top 10 most prestigious firms in the United States.

Notwithstanding his busy legal career, Rob has always made time to represent not-for-profits and others in need on a pro bono basis.  For example, while at Weil, he represented the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society in a licensing transaction.  While at Kirkland, he represented the Partnership for New York City in making social impact loans that would result in job creation for the needy.  While at Gibson, he helped a grieving mother honor her deceased son’s legacy by forming a 501(c)(3) animal rescue.
