DUSTIN ROBINSON

Founding Partner
States Licensed: FL

Dustin Robinson is the Founding Partner of LumaLex Law. Licensed in Florida as an Attorney, Certified Public Accountant, and Real Estate Agent, Robinson brings a rare, fully integrated legal–financial–business perspective to every engagement. His practice focuses on corporate structuring, regulatory strategy, transactions, capital formation, and high-stakes commercial litigation for growth-stage and emerging-market companies across a wide range of industries.

Before launching LumaLex Law, Robinson trained at two of the world’s most respected professional services firms—Deloitte and Holland & Knight—where he developed deep technical grounding in tax, corporate law, and complex commercial matters. He then left traditional practice to become an operator himself, applying his legal and accounting background to help run a multi-state manufacturing company that he helped grow to nearly $50 million in revenue. That experience shaped his core philosophy: great legal advice must be practical, entrepreneurial, and grounded in the realities of building and scaling real businesses.

Robinson is not only an advisor to entrepreneurs—he is one. In addition to LumaLex Law, he is the founder of multiple ventures, including Iter Investments , a venture capital fund backing frontier technologies and next-generation healthcare platforms; and Nucleus, a venture studio focused on launching digital and data-driven assets in emerging markets. Across his legal and investment platforms, Robinson has worked with founders operating in biotech, neurotech, telehealth, psychedelics, cannabis, fintech, real estate, digital media, AI-driven platforms, and other highly regulated or rapidly evolving sectors.

Widely regarded as a trailblazer in emerging industries, Robinson has played a leading role in shaping legal and commercial frameworks for novel business models long before they became mainstream. He has served as lead counsel in several high-profile commercial disputes, including the widely covered Shohei Ohtani 50–50 baseball litigation, and is frequently sought out for matters involving regulatory gray zones, innovative deal structures, and first-of-their-kind ventures.

Robinson also served on the Board of Directors of Clairvoyant Therapeutics, a biotechnology company that was advancing psilocybin-based treatments for alcohol use disorder through FDA clinical trials. He has advised and represented numerous venture-backed companies, founders, and investment vehicles operating at the intersection of science, technology, regulation, and capital markets.

Beyond legal practice and investing, Robinson is deeply involved in thought leadership and ecosystem-building. He created and moderates a long-running monthly panel series at Soho Beach House Miami, convening founders, physicians, scientists, investors, and cultural leaders to discuss innovation, wellness, and frontier technologies. Past guests have included NBA Champion Lamar Odom, NHL star Daniel Carcillo, and other prominent figures across business and entertainment.

Robinson has been regularly profiled and featured as an expert in major media outlets, including Bloomberg News, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, INSIDER, VICE, The Miami Herald, Authority Magazine, Thrive Global, Benzinga, and others. He is a frequent speaker at global industry conferences and private founder and investor forums.

A triple Gator, Robinson earned his Bachelor’s in Accounting, Master’s in Accounting, and Juris Doctor from the University of Florida.

Today, Robinson’s work sits at the intersection of law, entrepreneurship, and capital formation. He is known for helping founders think bigger, structure smarter, and move faster—while staying compliant, investable, and defensible. His mission is simple: to help entrepreneurs build category-defining companies in industries that don’t yet have a playbook.
