In complex insolvencies, whether preventative or aggressive, swift strategic action can maximise recoveries and prevent further losses.

From local assignments to complex cross-border insolvencies, contractual claims to negligence, misfeasance or undervaluation, and fraud investigations and asset tracing to freezing injunctions and forensic analysis, specialist expertise is essential to ensure the best outcome.
