Josh Robbins has represented the governments of the United States and other sovereign nations, Global 500 and Fortune 500 corporations, and individuals in international arbitrations, jury trials, appeals before federal circuit courts and the United States Supreme Court, and complex government investigations. His unusual blend of experience in financial law enforcement and international dispute resolution makes him particularly adept at resolving cross-border legal matters that involve high degrees of sovereign and regulatory risk.
As an international lawyer in private practice and at the U.S. Department of State, Josh has acted for claimants and respondents in international arbitrations under investment treaties, national investment protection laws and commercial contracts, and has represented multinational companies and sovereign governments in high-profile cross-border litigation in U.S. courts and investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning the FCPA and antitrust issues. In addition, Josh served for more than six years as an assistant United States attorney in the Central District of California. In that role, he was lead counsel in 10 federal jury trials and 20 federal appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, as well as dozens of other federal white-collar investigations involving securities fraud, healthcare fraud and kickbacks, bank fraud and public corruption. Several of Josh’s cases concerned schemes involving hundreds of millions of dollars in actual or intended losses. As a computer hacking and intellectual property crimes prosecutor, he also investigated and prosecuted cybercrime and intellectual property crime cases. Josh's cases have been discussed in the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, CNBC, the Investigation Discovery channel, and Forbes.com.
