Description
Recovery of assets in a different jurisdiction is always difficult, but an even more complex task is how to recover those assets when criminal authorities are after the same thing. Is speed the driving consideration? Is jurisdiction? Is insolvency? Is witness cooperation? Some of the more innovative answers – splitting the assets, dividing the proceedings and slowing down rather than speeding up – will provide for a dynamic and interesting panel that will focus on cases where clever thinking and fast action have meant that attempted recovery by a government hasn’t hindered the client’s recovery – or at least, not too much.
