Robinson Law Office, LLC (RLO) is a law firm and consultancy dedicated to improving corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ethical business practices in the United States and abroad. RLO serves corporate clients on human rights due diligence, responsible sourcing, and ethical business practices, positioning itself as a single-source solution for matters related to corporate social responsibility. The firm's practice areas include corporate social responsibility, anti-trafficking compliance, international law, ethical business practices, contracts, and risk management. RLO guides companies in the strategic use of their operations and investments to promote the common good, working to narrow the gap that often exists between corporations and the communities in which they operate. A core focus of the firm's work is ensuring that product supply chains do not contain goods produced by forced labor, which it addresses through strategic planning, training, and project management. RLO distinguishes itself by combining legal and consulting services centered on human rights, functioning as a one-stop shop that helps companies translate public statements of goodwill into concrete action against labor trafficking and environmental degradation. The firm represents both U.S. and international clients and emphasizes that ethical business practices benefit companies, communities, and the environment alike.
RLO's founder and owner, Donna Robinson, is licensed to practice law in Georgia and Florida and served as Vice Chair of the Georgia Statewide Human Trafficking Task Force from 2015 to 2020. She holds a cum laude Juris Doctor from Florida A&M University College of Law and a Master of Law in International Human Rights Law from American University Washington College of Law. Before launching RLO, Donna held positions with the Supreme Court of the Republic of Ghana, the World Bank International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, and the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, and has lived and worked in Ghana, Uganda, Jordan, and Iraq. A Florida native with more than twenty years of experience in human rights advocacy, she early in her career founded an organization to advocate against the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, and continues to coordinate with a network of U.S. and Sudanese activists as Legal Advisor for the Darfur Women's Action Group. In 2023, Donna received the Atlanta Business Chronicle's Women of Influence award, and in 2024 the State Bar of Georgia honored her with its Commitment to Equality Award One-to-Watch Award. As a descendant of West Africans who were kidnapped, trafficked, and enslaved in the United States, Donna says she feels deeply connected to the fight against modern-day slavery.
