Ronald Pemberton is Senior Counsel at Donovan & Reeve, where his practice covers cross-border compliance and enforcement, financial-crimes risk management, forensic investigations and litigation support, and Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing compliance. Ronald is recognized for an integrated approach to financial-crimes matters: rather than treating program assessment, investigation, and enforcement defense as three engagements, he runs them as one disciplined strategy.
His clients are financial institutions, fintechs, payment platforms, and multinational corporations facing parallel investigations and regulator-mandated remediation. Ronald coordinates engagements that touch U.S., U.K., and EU regulators, and he is particularly experienced in matters where forensic findings must be translated into a remediation plan that satisfies authorities without inviting collateral exposure.
Ronald is regularly retained by audit committees and risk committees to lead independent investigations into allegations of control failure, and he has served on monitorship engagements involving complex AML and sanctions remediation. His office contact line is +1-949-284-1495. He is admitted in Washington DC, Connecticut, and New Jersey.
