We work closely with legal counsel supporting sovereign bodies, as well as directly with the offices of attorneys general or prosecutors, in-house legal teams and other state representatives. Our work is focussed on supporting these parties in the context of international and domestic litigation and arbitration.

A key challenge faced by sovereigns is the difficulty of producing evidence around the underlying facts of a dispute in a form that will bear scrutiny by international tribunals. We are experienced in taking evidence from public prosecutors and other state investigators, with the aim of supporting and presenting it to tribunals and other international legal fora.

This allows us to support our clients in defending and bringing claims relating to breaches of contract, bribery and corruption violations, and in the recovery of high value debts.

We work with legal teams in the development of legal strategies relating to (i) suspicions of fraud, corruption and other malpractices carried out by counterparties; (ii) security for costs applications; (iii) forensic examination and analysis of internal data and documents in support of legal or internal proceedings; (iv) events underpinning contact breaches and other violations; and (v) the enforcement of awards and cost awards.
