Fraud, Insolvency & Asset Recovery
Helping you investigate fraud, manage insolvency and recover assets across borders
Fraud is increasingly complex and often intertwined with financial distress or insolvency, particularly where assets, directors and counterparties sit across multiple jurisdictions. In practice, that leaves businesses, insolvency practitioners and other stakeholders having to make urgent decisions, while dealing with evidential and enforcement challenges.
We advise on high value fraud, insolvency and asset recovery matters, including investigations, insolvency processes and asset tracing, freezing and recovery.
We examine, manage and litigate insolvencies, handling overseas recognition and enforcement. We regularly act in complex disputes, such as claims against directors and third parties involving alleged breaches of duty, misfeasance and fraud, and obtain and enforce freezing orders and proprietary remedies.
Working across our offices in Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and the Americas, we help clients coordinate enforcement and pursue recovery wherever value is located.
