Complex International Recovery Work

Alex has for the last decade specialised in advising clients on fraud and asset recovery matters.

His experience includes co-ordinating a major international asset recovery assignment for UK and offshore liquidators, which culminated in litigation being pursued in England for approximately £70 million and ultimately led to a substantial recovery being achieved for an institutional creditor.

He has successfully applied on numerous occasions for urgent without notice relief in support of fraud proceedings and has conducted “dawn raids” for office-holders in order to prevent asset dissipation and preserve evidence.

Most recently, he has advised an overseas government in relation to the pursuit of complex and high value fraud claims arising from the collapse of the country’s banking sector. This has required an international asset recovery strategy to be carefully devised and litigation to be co-ordinated in multiple jurisdictions, including the relevant FSU state, the UK and the United States.
