About Robert Mark
Robert Mark Steinberg graduated from Harvard University with an A.B. in 1986 and continued at Harvard Law School, earning his J.D. in 1989. He arrived in the legal profession at the end of the 1980s, a time of change in both corporate and regulatory practice. The Ivy League credentials mark the start of a long career in California law.
After law school Steinberg established his career in California. He is admitted to the State Bar of California and has practiced there for more than three decades. Over that span he has worked on matters that require familiarity with state courts and administrative processes. The record shows steady practice rather than headline-grabbing litigation or public office; he has kept a steady presence in the California legal community.
Steinberg’s work has involved advising clients on legal risks, resolving disputes and handling regulatory questions. He has counseled businesses and individuals on transactions and compliance matters, and he has represented clients in state-level proceedings. His approach is procedural and pragmatic: identify issues, present options, and move cases toward resolution. He writes and speaks in plain terms and prefers practical outcomes to theoretical debate.
His professional life has been anchored in private practice rather than academia or government service. That experience includes counseling across a range of commercial and regulatory subjects commonly encountered by California clients. Colleagues describe him as steady and thorough. He has balanced courtroom preparation with negotiated settlements, depending on what each matter required.
Currently Steinberg is affiliated with Elkins Kalt Weintraub Reuben Gartside. He continues to handle matters arising in California and represents clients before state agencies and courts when disputes arise. His current practice concentrates on legal matters in California.
