Practices

Special Situations

We advise clients facing high-risk and high-stakes legal challenges — from cross-border asset recovery to regulatory investigations and reputational crises. Our team acts swiftly and discreetly in complex matters that fall outside conventional legal categories. We combine litigation strategy, regulatory insight, and investigative capabilities to protect clients’ interests when it matters most.

Our services include:

Asset tracing and recovery

We pursue assets across jurisdictions through civil, criminal and insolvency tools.

White-collar defense

We represent individuals and companies in fraud, embezzlement and abuse of office cases.

Regulatory investigations

We assist in proceedings before financial regulators, anti-corruption bodies and law enforcement.

Interpol matters

We challenge Red Notices and support clients in cross-border extradition-related proceedings.

Crisis management

We act in cases involving media pressure, hostile stakeholders, and sensitive disclosures.

Our lawyers are trusted in sensitive matters where discretion, precision, and strategic thinking are key. We work closely with forensic experts, investigators, and foreign counsel to deliver results in legally and politically challenging environments.
