Robin Rathmell Email & Phone Number

Dual-qualified as an English barrister and U.S. lawyer, I represent high-net-worth individuals and institutions in international litigation involving allegations of fraud, money laundering and other forms of misconduct. I have particular experience in formulating offensive and defensive global litigation strategies for international private clients, including in relation to civil and criminal asset forfeiture, trusts, commercial and insolvency litigation, INTERPOL, and international sanctions regimes. I also have extensive experience handling the parallel reputation management and crisis communications issues arising from these engagements.All of my engagements have an international element and, given the complex nature of the assets and fact patterns involved, usually span several jurisdictions, legal systems and asset-holding structures. In recent engagements, I have acted as counsel in cases involving all of the world’s key offshore financial centers, as well as Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Americas. As a result, in addition to my regular interface with U.S. regulatory and intelligence agencies, I also have extensive experience coordinating legal strategies in matters involving action brought by non-U.S. authorities located around the world.I am recognized in numerous publications for multiple areas of practice, including for white-collar and commercial litigation in the Legal 500, for financial crime defense of high-net-worth individuals by Chambers & Partners, and as a Prominent Barrister in contentious trust matters and regulatory work by Citywealth. I have also been named as one of Legal Week’s Private Client Global Elite lawyers, as a top reputation management lawyer in Spear's Magazine, and a recommended practitioner in Who’s Who Legal’s Business Crime Defence.Earlier in my career, I practiced as a barrister at Serle Court in London. At Serle Court, I focused on offshore trusts disputes and international commercial litigation and appeared as an advocate in 15+ trials and 100+ contested hearings. I graduated in law from Cambridge University with double first-class honors. I also have an international diploma in anti-money laundering and a professional postgraduate diploma in financial crime compliance. I am a Trust and Estates Practitioner of STEP and a Fellow of the International Compliance Association.

Listed skills include Commercial Litigation, Litigation, Trusts, Dispute Resolution, and 9 others.
