We resolve disputes, monetise claims and pursue the recovery of assets across the globe, particularly in cases involving fraud or dishonesty. We have expertise in complex financial structures and sophisticated tracing and enforcement techniques. We understand how assets are hidden through shell companies, trusts, nominees, family members and third parties and offshore arrangements.

In addition to the use of worldwide freezing orders, we deploy the use of legal mechanisms including, proprietary injunctions, disclosure, search & seizure orders, insolvency regime tools and receivership appointments.

Our work is international, and we regularly work with trusted lawyers and investigators in jurisdictions around the world to trace, freeze and secure assets. For US related matters we have experience of deploying strategies that include Chapter 15, depositions and securing evidence through USC 1782 Discovery applications.

We have earned international recognition for our specialist expertise in this field, and are highly ranked in Chambers and Lexology.

We collaborate with specialist trust, tax and financial services litigators within the firm and work closely with forensic accountants, investigators and foreign counsel to trace assets through ownership structures, pierce corporate veils and ultimately enforce judgments against debtors.

We regularly seek international recognition of judgments and arbitral awards against defendants (whether domiciled in the UK or not) to enforce across multiple jurisdictions including offshore territories.
