Robert C. Hinkley (Australia)
Interview TBC
Bob is an American attorney who specialized in corporate law generally and corporate financing specifically. He is a graduate of Fordham University, Gabelli School of Business and Fordham Law School. His long and distingushed career has included being a partner in two of the world’s largest law firms. From 2012 to 2020, he provided critical assistance to the US Department of Justice in connection with investigations that recovered more than $US 65 billion from more than a dozen banks for illegal behaviour which led to the financial crisis of 2008.
He is the author of Time to Change Corporations: Closing the Citizenship Gap and numerous articles, describing his idea to improve corporate behaviour by amending the duty of directors in corporate laws throughout the world. Bob calls this idea, the Code for Corporate Citizenship. Existing law provides that directors must “act in the best interests of the corporation.” The Code would add “but not at the expense of the environment, human rights, public health and safety, dignity of employees or welfare of the communities in which the corporation operates.”
