With a track record of high-profile, high denomination cases, our specialist team works across borders and jurisdictions.
Historically, our team has grown up on some of the major headline fraud cases such as acting for the DTI in the collapse of Barlow Clowes 20 years ago to recently being involved in the Abacha litigation for business associates of the former president of Nigeria.
We currently have a leading role in the Tadaz -v- Ansol disputes, acting for Ansol and associated partners. This dispute clearly displays the international versatility of our team in setting aside worldwide freezing injunctions to establishing jurisdiction over foreign parties on claims governed by Russian and Tajik law.
One of our particular strengths is handling fraudulent insurance claims from scuttled ships to straightforward grand theft of items such as precious stones or mobile phones. Our experience in acting for insurers is unrivalled and our work for both defendants and claimants means we see all the strategic alternatives in every dispute.
