Practice Focus
Robin advises on a wide range of corporate law and compliance matters, with particular emphasis on corporate compliance issues. In his compliance practice, Robin's main focus is on conducting and managing (cross border) internal investigations, the structuring of compliance management systems (in particular with respect to whistleblowing) and programs as well as compliance risk assessments. His advice covers all stages of corporate compliance: Prevention, investigation, interaction with public authorities, remediation and litigation related to compliance issues.
In his corporate practice, Robin's main focus is on assisting limited liability companies (GmbHs) and corporations (AGs) on corporate law matters. He also provides business oriented advice relating to liability issues for company management, including D&O questions and company claims for breach of duties.
