Our team in Chambers
The 2024 guide notes Stewarts has “cross-border experience in complex asset tracing and recovery mandates. Its lawyers assist with high-value recoveries in international civil fraud and insolvency cases.” Chambers highlights our team having acted for the liquidators of Kijani Resources and Ratio Ltd., two companies involved in a fraudulent investment scheme, in asset tracing and recovery actions.
“Stewarts’ professionals are known for their hands-on approach. They’re available and keen to problem solve,” one client told Chambers. Another said that they “rely heavily on top-quality legal representation, and Alex Jay with his team at Stewarts are exactly that. They are calm, measured and [have a] tactical approach.”
Interviewees commented: “Alex Jay is very commercially minded and very good at chasing the issues that matter. He’s extremely calm and he gets the big picture better than anyone else… a very experienced fraud and litigation lawyer, who has a very creative and inventive approach to asset tracing and recovery litigation.”
