Civil Fraud and Asset Recovery

Members of Chambers are developing a practice in complex civil fraud and asset recovery matters across multiple jurisdictions, including applications for freezing orders, search orders, and other interim relief.

 

The subject matter of these disputes spans diverse areas, including corporate fraud, director and fiduciary breaches, investment fraud, cryptocurrency and digital asset tracing, fraudulent conveyances, Ponzi schemes, cross-border asset dissipation, oil trading fraud, forged financial statements, unauthorized commodity transactions, sovereign bond disputes, international sanctions evasion, and asset expropriation matters. Several of our members have particular expertise in cases involving complex corporate structures, offshore entities, multi-jurisdictional enforcement, and disputes arising from failed joint ventures in the energy sector.

 

Our expertise across the full spectrum of civil fraud remedies encompasses worldwide freezing orders, proprietary tracing claims, Norwich Pharmacal orders, Bankers Trust disclosure orders, recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, Chabra jurisdiction applications against third parties, and civil recovery orders under POCA. Members act for both claimants seeking to recover misappropriated assets and defendants facing fraud allegations, with extensive experience in cross-examination on disclosure affidavits and contempt of court proceedings.
