Robin Bariel

Robin Bariel is an associate at Stoel Rives in Anchorage whose litigation practice draws on experience in trial courts, federal appeals, and administrative proceedings. She has handled criminal cases from initial assessment through trial and post-conviction proceedings and has analyzed complex civil, criminal, and administrative appeals. Robin’s background supports work involving motions, evidence, appellate issues, government investigations, and disputes that require careful review of procedural records and legal authority.

Robin earned a J.D. from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in 2023 with great distinction and a B.A. from Arizona State University in 2008, summa cum laude. Her legal education emphasized strong research and writing skills, and her academic record reflects disciplined analysis. That foundation supports her ability to evaluate trial records, identify jurisdictional and procedural questions, draft persuasive legal documents, and work across litigation and appellate matters involving different substantive areas.

Robin previously served as an assistant district attorney in Alaska, where she prosecuted misdemeanor and felony cases, presented matters to grand juries, negotiated resolutions, and litigated evidentiary and procedural motions. She also worked as a staff attorney for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and clerked for the Drug Enforcement Administration’s chief administrative law judge. Earlier experience included a California Supreme Court externship and private-practice research in employment, business, healthcare, and water law.

Robin Bariel is admitted in Alaska and the District of Columbia. Her practice includes litigation, appeals, and matters involving government investigations and white collar issues. Robin brings together prosecution experience, federal appellate analysis, administrative enforcement work, and civil litigation exposure. That combination helps her assess cases from multiple procedural perspectives and provide clients with research-based guidance on disputes, motions, appeals, and government proceedings that demand close attention to the record and governing law.
