Asset Recovery and Enforcement

Our Services

We have decades of expertise working across complex international fraud and asset recovery cases – delivering creative solutions, at pace.

We regularly act for financial institutions, state-owned banks, state bodies, multinational corporations and high-net-worth individuals, providing the sharp insight, smart strategies and seamless, cross-border approach to prevail in the most challenging of cases.

Asset Tracing and Investigation

We have built a reputation for our tenacity in building cases and in tracing, freezing and recovering assets. We work at the cutting edge of the law on interim relief, using the full armoury of the law in order to obtain results for our clients.

Cryptocurrency and Cyber Fraud

Our new digital economy is shaping a new legal frontier. We are experienced acting in cases of both cybercrime and in the recovery of crypto assets, drawing on our extensive fraud, regulatory and compliance expertise to guide clients through this now-mainstream space.

Distressed Debt & Non-Performing Loans

Placing pressure on balance sheets and cash flow, we help clients alleviate the impact of distressed debts and non-performing loans through bespoke, multi-jurisdictional strategies. Meanwhile, our close relationships with investigators and funders can help uncover assets and provide financing solutions.

Enforcement of Judgments, Arbitral and Divorce Awards

As well as being experts in obtaining judgments and awards for our clients, we have years of successful experience in enforcement – including acting in the UK’s largest-ever divorce award of £453 million.
