Peer review:

Having been up against Robin during his transition from the English Bar to his current home as a partner at Kobre & Kim in a complex and very high value set of cross border proceedings, he is without doubt a phenomenal lawyer who has an excellent ability to get to the nub of issue exceedingly quickly and what appears from the outside to formulate winning strategies very early on. Robin is certainly a leader in the 'parachute regiment' and I very much looking forward to working as co-counsel with him as I wouldn't want to repeat being up against him anytime soon...

Peer review:

A consummate tactician and always several steps ahead of his opponent, Rob operates at the very highest level. He has that rare combination of strategic brilliance whilst also being on top of every last detail. The gargantuan and highly complex cross-border cases he's involved in are matched by a gargantuan intellect.

I've had the pleasure of working as co-counsel with Robin on a number of occasions both before he left for the US and since - always been a pleasure. Genuinely a collegiate team player but with an eye to the commercial goal backed by technical ability. Certainly 5 stars!

Peer review:

Rob is a powerhouse in cross-border/multi-jurisdictional trust litigation. He is able to deal with the most complex of issues with ease. He is excellent to work with and a great strategist. Highly recommended.

Peer review:

Rob is a stellar performer, who I have worked with for many years on a number of contentious trust litigation matters and cross-border disputes. He has an ability to drill immediately into the key issues and provide clear, detailed advice for his clients. He also has a sharp strategic vision when managing litigation spanning multiple jurisdictions and ensures the execution of clearly defined litigation goals for his clients. Feared and respected in equal measure by his peers, Rob brings added value and a touch of class to any team.

Peer review:

Rob is the go to lawyer for complex international litigation concerning high net worth individuals and trusts. His advice is timely, clear and on the money. He is brilliant to work with, unflappable in court and is results driven. A star in his field.

Peer review:

Robin Rathmell is a specialist in global cross-border and transatlantic litigation as well as an expert in the field of offshore trusts. He is articulate, well-prepared, knowledgeable and highly effective. He never loses sight of the importance of pragmatism in litigation and is well-liked by clients.

Distressed, contentious trusts involving fraud or misconduct

Representation of high-net worth individuals in contentious trusts situations, often involving allegations of fraud (criminal and civil) and/or other misconduct. I specialise in highly distressed situations involving a clash between onshore and offshore laws and legal systems. For example, I have numerous cases involving UK and/or US government investigations into clients and their offshore structures. I advise on all of the litigation aspects of those matters, including the asset forfeiture and trustee relations elements.
