OUR APPROACH

How We Advise on Fraud, Corruption and Financial Misconduct

  1. Why These Matters Are Rarely Just About the Alleged Conduct

    Fraud-related matters frequently involve complex corporate structures, international transactions, related-party relationships and movement of funds across jurisdictions. Effective defense and recovery strategies require understanding not only the alleged conduct but also how the underlying transactions, ownership structures and financial flows operated.

  2. Allegations We Advise On

    We advise on allegations involving fraudulent representations, diversion of assets, fictitious transactions, improper payments, concealed ownership, conflicts of interest, abuse of corporate authority and fraudulent transfers.

  3. Reconstructing the Facts and Assessing Exposure

    Our lawyers assist clients in analyzing the factual record, reconstructing transactions, assessing potential criminal and civil exposure and developing a coordinated response strategy.

  4. Advising Companies and Boards on Suspected Internal Misconduct

    For companies and boards, we advise on suspected misconduct involving employees, executives, contractors, business partners or counterparties. This may include evaluating reporting obligations, preserving evidence, conducting internal reviews and determining whether disciplinary, regulatory or civil action should follow.

  5. Asset Recovery Across Jurisdictions

    Where recovery of assets is important, our White Collar and International Dispute Resolution teams work together on asset tracing, interim measures, civil claims and enforcement strategies. We coordinate with forensic accountants, investigators and foreign counsel where transactions or assets extend across multiple jurisdictions.

  6. Corruption and Procurement-Related Exposure

    Corruption and procurement matters can create additional exposure involving government authorities, public contracts, sanctions, debarment and reputational consequences. We advise clients on responding to allegations and managing related criminal, regulatory and commercial risks.
