High Stake Litigation Examining Notable Case Studies and Outcomes

High stake litigation is a term used to describe legal disputes with major financial implications, intricate legal questions, or well-known parties involved. Our typical case is usually this type, as a small firm we are more flexible in fees and faster to start the work than other firms. Our firm also is one of the few firms accepting a combination of fix and success fees.

Our typical work in the litigation space involves complex cases, often multi-jurisdiction cases requiring knowledge of the dynamics in different geographies, as well as legislation and legal safeguards:

A dispute on an investment portfolio

A client claiming a 80M US$ investment portfolio allegedly stolen by their partner based on the UK, while the investment were made in US SPACS (Nasdaq listed companies). Our work required to gather intelligence across the financial industry in the USA and UK and support lawyers on both jurisdictions. Our work product supported our client to substantiate a lawsuit in the US following section 1782, regarding foreign litigation aid to obtain testimony and documents in the USA for an ongoing litigation on another country.

Anti-trust investigation in the automobile industry

A USA based company operating in the automobile industry sued a German company within the industry due to unfair competition and breach of anti-trust laws across the EU. Our investigation work supported our client to proof how information was released to German companies before anyone else, obtaining an unfair market advantage. The litigation action claimed a multi-billion US$ amount in damages due to the unfair advantage.

Unpaid loans worth 500M US$

Our client signed an agreement with an Emirati Group, agreeing to lend 500M US$ to a European company struggling to pay creditors. The European company signed other agreements to re-pay debt to other creditors as they signed the agreement with the Emirati Group.

Our client never got the loan´s amounts, therefore had to fill for chapter 11. Our work supported our client to revamp and exit the chapter11 process by providing UAE authorities with information and location of the directors of the UAE companies which failed to pay the agreement.

1782 section discovery process

Our firm has conducted dozens of 1782 section discovery process investigations for our clients. We partner with law firms that provide the legal services to file the claims supported by our findings. This process allows foreigners involved in litigation actions outside the USA to obtain testimony and documents located in the US for a foreign legal action.

Complex litigation

Complex litigation is what we do in most cases, which involves cases requiring multiple expert witness analysis and often happen in multiple jurisdictions. Our firm is specialized in supporting clients requiring other professionals and finding expert layers in multiple geographies to support their cases.

Supporting PE firms in litigation actions

Helping PE firms to win in litigation actions requiring deep intelligence and difficult to obtain evidences. PE firms have shorter business cycles and their disputes are connected to breach of covenants, reps and warranties. Knowledge about how M&A deals work and the complexity of enforcing certain clauses is critical to support our clients. PE firms are also exposed to higher risks as they manage company portfolios of dozens of companies with different risks and exposure at the same time.

 Outcomes

Our work produces high returns in terms of creating an advantage of information in litigation and disputes. The advantage leads to better designed legal strategies to win. Owning better information and more accurate insights than the other party leads to successful court trials.
