Co-Head, Fraud, Asset Recovery & Investigations

Jansen co-heads the firm’s Fraud, Asset Recovery & Investigation Practice and covers a wide range of commercial matters with a strong emphasis on cross-border disputes.

A leading practitioner in cryptocurrency and digital technology, Jansen successfully obtained Singapore’s first reported case of a worldwide Mareva injunction against “Persons Unknown” and third party disclosure orders against cryptocurrency exchanges in CLM v CLN. Additionally, he acted for a group of Russian cryptocurrency algorithmic traders in a US$100 million dispute relating to trade revenue and proprietary software, as well as advised liquidators of a cryptocurrency investment platform involving misappropriation of over US$300 million of cryptocurrency assets.

Jansen also specialises in anti-corruption and regulatory Investigations, having acted for one of the largest Singapore conglomerates in a highly publicised corruption scandal in Brazil. This was the first ever FCPA resolution involving a Singaporean company, and an unprecedented global settlement co-coordinated with criminal authorities in three jurisdictions in the US, Brazil and Singapore. The firm was awarded “Boutique or Regional Practice of the Year” at the Global Investigations Review Awards in 2018 for its role in this matter, which was also nominated for “Most Important Development of the Year”.
