Corporate Fraud
The headline-grabbing collapses of Enron, Parmalat and their like are just the start of the process of tracing and recovery of assets for creditors and, ultimately, shareholders.
We have been at the forefront of developments of this area of law, from cases such as Guinness, Barlow Clowes and Polly Peck, through the collapses of BCCI and the Maxwell empire, and onwards to more recent failures such as Enron. Over many years we have developed a depth of experience and expertise in acting for liquidators, administrators, directors, creditors, bondholders, bond trustees and shareholders. These cases very often have an international dimension, with worldwide tracing claims and issues of cross-border insolvency.
