About RBMConsulting

RBMConsulting is a Toronto sole practice run by Rohan B. Mathai, focused on transportation and trade related areas of public and international law. The practice covers marine, rail, and aviation regulatory matters, including enforcement actions, licensing decisions, and government procurement, along with oil spill liability under the ship-source and rail accident compensation funds, and trade matters such as customs tariff classification and rules of origin. Before opening the practice, Mathai worked as in-house counsel for several federal tribunals and compensation funds, including the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, the Office of the Administrator of the Ship-source Oil Pollution Fund, and the Office of the Administrator of the Fund for Railway Accidents Involving Designated Goods.

Mathai was called to the Bar of Ontario in 2016 and is licensed with the Law Society of Ontario. Legal training includes a J.D. from the University of Melbourne, a Certificate in Transnational Legal Studies from Kings College London, and an LL.M. from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, plus an earlier B.A.S. in mathematical science and psychology from the University of Guelph. Mathai also teaches asynchronous courses at Memorial University, Marine Law since 2022 and Marine Environment Law and Pollution Control since 2021, work that runs alongside the practice's regulatory focus.
