Counsel across the full arc of the matter.
From the first sign of fraud to the final enforcement of a judgment, our practice areas are built to work together across the United States and Europe.
Cryptocurrency & Digital Asset Disputes
01Digital assets move fast and cross borders instantly. Our practice is built around tracing, freezing, and recovering them — and around advising on the disputes that follow.
We act for individuals, exchanges, funds, and institutions in disputes over stolen wallets, unauthorized transfers, exchange failures, and frozen accounts. When counterparties or custodians hold assets abroad, we coordinate with local counsel across the U.S., the U.K., and the EU.
- Tracing and recovery of stolen or misappropriated crypto
- Exchange and custodian disputes, including frozen accounts
- Unwinding unauthorized or fraudulent transfers
- Court orders against custodians to preserve assets
- Advisory on liability for crypto intermediaries
- Coordination with blockchain forensics specialists
Fraud & Asset Recovery
02Time is the asset in fraud cases. We move quickly to locate funds, freeze them before they dissipate, and pursue recovery through negotiation or the courts.
We handle investment fraud, wire fraud, pig-butchering schemes, advance-fee fraud, and misappropriation by employees or business partners. Our recovery work spans asset tracing, freezing injunctions, disclosure orders, and worldwide orders where a defendant is trying to move money out of reach.
- Investment and wire fraud claims
- Emergency freezing injunctions and preservation orders
- Asset tracing across jurisdictions and financial institutions
- Disclosure and Norwich Pharmacal orders
- Recovery against third-party recipients and money mules
- Enforcement of judgments across borders
Cross-Border Litigation & Arbitration
03Disputes rarely stay in one jurisdiction. We run multi-jurisdiction claims as a single coordinated program, not as a series of disconnected local actions.
Our team litigates in the courts of New York, London, and Frankfurt, and in arbitration under major international rules. We handle jurisdictional questions, parallel proceedings, service abroad, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and awards.
- Commercial and financial litigation in the U.S. and U.K.
- International arbitration under ICC, LCIA, and other rules
- Jurisdiction challenges and anti-suit measures
- Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments
- Injunctions and interim relief across borders
- Coordinated litigation strategy across multiple fora
Regulatory & Compliance
04The rules around money movement are dense, fragmented, and changing — on both sides of the Atlantic. We help clients understand and meet them before problems arise.
We advise financial institutions, crypto firms, fintechs, and corporate clients on anti-money-laundering obligations, sanctions compliance, digital-asset regulation, and responding to regulatory inquiries and enforcement actions in the U.S. and Europe.
- AML and sanctions compliance programs
- Digital-asset licensing and regulatory matters
- Responses to regulatory inquiries and subpoenas
- Internal investigations and remediation
- Representation in enforcement proceedings
- Cross-border data and financial regulatory advisory
Corporate & Commercial
05Sound corporate work reduces disputes later. We help founders, investors, and operators structure, transact, and protect their businesses across borders.
We handle entity formation and governance, cross-border transactions, commercial agreements, and dispute prevention for companies operating in the U.S. and Europe. Our corporate team works closely with our disputes team, so the same commercial understanding carries through every matter.
- Entity formation and corporate governance
- Cross-border transactions and joint ventures
- Commercial agreements and distribution arrangements
- Shareholder and partnership matters
- Employment and founder agreements
- Corporate risk review and dispute prevention
White-Collar Defense
06Investigations move quietly and quickly. Early, informed representation protects both the outcome and the client's position.
We represent individuals and companies in criminal and regulatory investigations, grand jury and regulatory subpoenas, and related civil proceedings in the U.S. and Europe. We also advise on privilege, evidence preservation, and how to respond when enforcement is on the other side.
- Criminal and regulatory investigations
- Representation before prosecutors and regulators
- Internal investigations on behalf of companies
- Grand jury and administrative subpoenas
- Related civil enforcement and forfeiture matters
- Privilege and evidence-handling advice
