Legal theory and courtroom reality do not always align. Our team possesses deep expertise in the interplay between UK, US, and European legal systems. We understand the nuances of what is admissible in court and how different jurisdictions interact in complex, multi-border disputes.
Representative Case Studies
$100M Crypto-Portfolio Recovery (UK Commercial Courts)
Our client’s $10M investment in 2019 ballooned to $100M by 2024. When the investment firm refused to release the funds, we coordinated a multi-jurisdictional strategy involving counsel in Italy, the UK, and the US. By deploying Human Intelligence (HUMINT) to uncover the counter-party’s history of ethical breaches, we provided the leverage necessary for a successful lawsuit.
High-Net-Worth Divorce & Asset Concealment (NY-Spain)
In a multi-billion dollar divorce, a husband declared bankruptcy in Spain, claiming to be insolvent. Within three months, our global asset search uncovered $70M in concealed assets across five countries, effectively debunking the bankruptcy claim in the New York courts.
Internal Fraud & Fund Diversion (Global Tech)
We conducted a two-year investigation into a sophisticated executive network that diverted €300M to subcontractors across Latin America and Europe. Our findings led to the dismissal of key leadership and the successful recovery of €180M.
Sanctions Evasion: The "Russian Screen" Investigation
A client suspected a Swiss partner was acting as a front for sanctioned Russian oligarchs. Our team successfully penetrated the corporate veil, obtaining documented proof of the financial network and the sanctioned individuals behind the scheme, which was then used in enforcement proceedings.
Section 1782 Discovery (USA)
We specialize in 28 U.S.C. § 1782, the federal statute allowing parties in foreign proceedings to obtain evidence (documents and testimony) from entities based in the United States. We bridge the gap between foreign litigation and US discovery, identifying the targets and evidence needed to trigger this powerful legal tool.
Specialized Investigations
Private Equity Litigation: We proved that a target company knowingly withheld data on technology malfunctions during an acquisition, allowing our PE client to recover their failed investment.
Whistleblower Support: We assist whistleblowers in navigating US government programs, providing the necessary connections to report corporate crime and unlawful activity securely.
Financial Ratings Fraud: For a global insurer, we uncovered a collusion scheme where traders manipulated ratings (BBB policies) to create artificial demand. Our expert report provided the foundation for the indemnity and deductible calculations.
Conclusion

We fill the knowledge gaps, transform data and information into intelligence, and ensure our clients enter the courtroom with a definitive competitive advantage
