Asset Tracing & Recovery

Protecting Your Interests by Locating and Recovering Hidden or Misappropriated Assets Worldwide

Global Reach. Local Expertise.

Winning a case is not the final step in litigation. Globalization has facilitated the transfer and movement of assets to all parts of the world with each international jurisdiction enforcing their local laws and regulations. Accordingly, in today’s environment sophisticated wrongdoers or debtors are deploying complex financial vehicles to conceal the location and source of (misappropriated) assets.

Thus, it is difficult to identify assets located across multiple jurisdictions and, moreover, it is complicated to obtain a favorable decision and enforce the recovery claim in these international jurisdictions. We regularly assist clients to trace and secure assets, as well as enforce judgments and arbitration awards, in Europe and abroad.
