Civil Fraud & Enforcement
We offer unrivalled expertise in civil fraud and asset recovery disputes including those that arise from bribery, corruption, breach of trust and fiduciary duty, POCA and asset forfeiture.
Members act for individuals (including HNW), large corporates, banks and government entities including in relation to sovereign recovery.
We act not only in civil fraud asset recovery but also criminal fraud proceedings, and there is often interaction between civil and criminal investigations and proceedings. Victims of fraud may have the option to pursue their losses/claim in either the civil or criminal courts and we are uniquely placed to act and advise on consequences and strategies in both options.
Members are regularly instructed in relation to enforcement proceedings to recover assets arising from a judgments or arbitral awards in multi jurisdictions, and we have done so for many years in both the civil and criminal context. This spans multi jurisdictions throughout Europe, CIS, Middle East, US and Caribbean, Asia -Pacific and Africa.
We also have specialist experience of sovereign asset recovery, not only in recovering assets but working with governments to assist with capacity building and ensuring their anti-corruption programmes are up to date.
