Royer Cooper Cohen Braunfeld Proudly Welcomes Ira Rosenau as Partner
Royer Cooper Cohen Braunfeld proudly welcomes Ira Rosenau to the firm as a Partner in its Corporate & Business and Litigation Groups. Ira brings more than 30 years of experience as a trial lawyer, business executive, and former general counsel, advising companies operating in a variety of industries including highly regulated ones such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, additive manufacturing, and life sciences.
Ira advises clients across the full business lifecycle, from formation and product development through commercialization, growth, and exit. His practice includes corporate structuring, FDA and international regulatory strategy, intellectual property planning, joint development and strategic partnership agreements, commercial contracting, mergers and acquisitions, and dispute resolution. His counsel is informed by years of hands-on leadership experience running businesses, enabling him to help clients navigate not only legal requirements, but the operational realities that drive successful outcomes.
RCCB leaders noted that Ira's arrival strengthens the firm’s capabilities in life sciences and medical technology, areas of continued strategic focus for the firm. His combined experience as a trial lawyer, former general counsel, and business operator provides a differentiated offering for clients navigating the intersection of regulation, intellectual property, commercialization, and dispute risk.
“With Ira joining the firm, we add a partner who not only understands various industries intellectually, but who has lived them,” said Neil A. Cooper, Executive Partner of RCCB. “His ability to connect regulatory strategy, business transactions and operations, and litigation risk mitigation is a powerful addition for our clients and our firm.”
Ira’s relationship with the firm spans decades through longstanding professional connections with several RCCB partners, including Neil Cooper and Randi L. Rubin, with whom he has worked throughout his career. He was drawn to RCCB’s collaborative culture, entrepreneurial spirit, and full-service platform for experienced lawyers seeking to shape the next phase of their practices.
“I was looking for a firm where I could collaborate, share ideas, and continue to grow alongside lawyers who value practical, business-minded problem solving,” Ira Rosenau said. “RCCB has built something special, a collegial environment with deep talent, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a genuine one-firm culture. It feels like the right place for me at this stage in my career.”
Prior to joining RCCB, Ira spent more than two decades at Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg LLP, where he progressed from summer associate to equity partner and built a strong commercial litigation practice while expanding into transactional work. He later joined Keystone Industries as President of its dental division and General Counsel of the consolidated businesses. In that role, he quickly developed deep expertise in dental manufacturing and digital dentistry, overseeing the development and commercialization of FDA regulated medical devices and pharmaceuticals, including Keystone’s KeyPrint® line of 3D printing resins.
At Keystone, Ira managed legal, regulatory, quality, and compliance functions across domestic and international markets, led strategic partnerships, oversaw acquisitions, and worked closely with cross-functional teams spanning manufacturing, supply chain, product development, sales, and marketing. He guided the company through FDA and international regulatory approvals, quality management system compliance, and patent strategy, while helping scale innovative technologies.
In his litigation practice, Ira represents businesses in complex commercial disputes involving contracts, business torts, intellectual property, partnership and shareholder matters, real estate issues, and regulated products. He draws on extensive courtroom experience and an advanced law degree in trial advocacy to communicate persuasively in both business and adversarial settings.
“Ira interviewed me early in my career at Klehr Harrison, so welcoming him to RCCB feels very full circle,” said Randy Rubin, Partner and Chair of the thriving Family Law Group at RCCB. “He is a deeply collaborative lawyer with exceptional insight, and I’m excited about the impact he will have across the firm.”
The firm also welcomes Erin Stottlemyer Gold and Thomas Kennedy as Counsel in its Corporate & Business Group, Samuel Gray as an associate in its Corporate & Business Group, and Sofia Villalobos Vega as an associate in its Business Restructuring & Bankruptcy and Litigation Groups.
