Rob Moulton stands out for the strength of his regulatory advice to leading asset managers. He is particularly notable for his work relating to high-value transactions.

He is always able to explain very convoluted, technical points with examples that are perfectly tailored to the audience.

He is a very good player in this space and has a great presence in the market.

I like working with Rob, he's a genius. He is really technical, he has a passion for the area and he has a good holistic view of the regulations.

Rob is very bright and technically capable.

Rob is responsive, hugely practical, commercial and solutions focused. His knowledge of regulatory matters is unmatched in the market.
