About R. Gregory
R. Gregory Roussel built his academic foundation at Southern Methodist University, where he earned both a B.B.A. in Finance and a B.A. in Economics before moving on to Vanderbilt University Law School for his J.D. Those degrees gave him a mix of quantitative training and legal theory. He left law school prepared to enter practice at the intersection of business and law.
Early in his career he joined Fenwick & West LLP. Records show he has worked at that firm, where he practiced alongside lawyers who serve corporate clients. His time there exposed him to the operational side of legal work at a firm known for serving clients in commercial and technology sectors. He developed practical skills advising organizations on legal matters that arise in business settings.
Roussel is admitted to the bar in California. He has handled matters governed by California law and counseled clients operating within the state. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in his approach: he breaks complex problems into concrete steps and prioritizes clear, usable advice over abstract theory. That practical bent reflects both his legal training and his undergraduate focus on economics and finance.
Across his professional life he has balanced legal analysis with attention to business realities. He is comfortable working with financial data and translating it into issues that matter for contracts, compliance and corporate decision-making. He has collaborated with teams on negotiations, documentation and problem solving. In client meetings he aims to set realistic expectations and frame options in terms that business leaders can act on.
Outside the office Roussel’s background in finance and economics informs how he views regulatory and commercial questions. He reads technical material closely and weighs the practical implications for business operations. He brings that background into his legal work, aiming to make legal risks understandable and manageable. He practices law in California.
