In his 25 years of practice, Robert R. Amsterdam has handled numerous international business disputes all over the world. Highly regarded for his strategic innovation and international experience, Amsterdam was retained by the Russian corporation YUKOS-Group MENATEP in 2003 for the defense of former CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky – one of the most high profile cases in modern Russian history. The Canadian Lawyer says of Amsterdam that he is “one of the few lawyers in the world [good at] taking on the state when the state starts acting like a criminal.” Amsterdam has worked in countries as diverse as Hungary, Nigeria, Venezuela, and Guatemala and has considerable experience with politically sensitive cases. His expert legal commentary is frequently featured in the media. Accounts of his cases have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, the Financial Times, the Guardian, Die Press, Tagesspiegel, Le Monde. Mr. Amsterdam was prominently featured in a BBC documentary. London’s The Lawyer magazine named Robert Amsterdam one of the Hot 100 Attorneys in the UK for 2005. He is a member of the Canadian, New York and International Bar Associations. Amsterdam maintains a successful blog. You can read more about the speaker here.
