Sanctions Counseling & Remediation
Sanctions Counseling & Remediation
As experts in U.S. sanctions policies and enforcement, we represent clients who are already sanctioned, who are concerned about being sanctioned, or who are considering doing business with counterparties or in jurisdictions posing a sanctions risk. We are one of the few firms that is genuinely specialized in this area and have acted in several of the most publicized and contentious sanctions cases in recent years. We are also one of the few firms that assesses each case on its merits, without being swayed by political persuasions or other “commercial conflicts” considerations.
International White Collar Defense & Investigations
International White Collar Defense & Investigations
We have acted in some of the largest international criminal cases in the last decade. We specialize in financial crimes cases that are both global – usually spanning multiple jurisdictions around the world – and high value – usually involving assets over $100 million.  Given our experience, we have considerable expertise in coordinating and overseeing cross-border legal strategies, including assembling foreign counsel capable of delivering substantive results for our clients in any jurisdiction necessary.
Asset Forfeiture Defense
Asset Forfeiture Defense
Our combination of U.S. and offshore qualifications has given us unique expertise in international asset forfeiture cases. Whether it involves defensive litigation before U.S. courts, or achieving negotiated resolutions with domestic and foreign governments, we are one of a handful of firms with substantive experience in handling such matters on behalf of our clients.
Asset Protection
Asset Protection
Combining extremely technical legal frameworks with difficult public optics, asset protection represents one of the most challenging areas of legal practice. We have unique experience navigating these considerable challenges in order to deliver lawful solutions to our clients, and ensure that their assets remain protected through highly robust holding structures.
Serious Civil Fraud Litigation
Serious Civil Fraud Litigation
We work only on particularly challenging civil litigation that demands our unique expertise, oftentimes involving cases that are unusually technical, raise serious allegations of fraud, or involve values in excess of $100 million. In that capacity, we have operated in corporate, matrimonial, trusts and estates, and other fraud matters in onshore and offshore courts around the world.
