International Insolvencies

The use of insolvency powers and our forensic accountancy expertise are important tools we often employ in our asset recovery work.

Corporate vehicles, whether offshore or onshore, are frequently used as part of the structure through which money is improperly taken and/or laundered.

There are very significant advantages to using the insolvency process in recovering these assets, in particular arising from the willingness of most jurisdictions to recognise (to a greater or lesser extent) overseas insolvency officeholders.

Many jurisdictions have insolvency legislation which assists the effective investigation of the affairs of those who previously ran insolvent companies. The recovery of assets improperly removed from those companies in the run-up to insolvency is often possible.

MKS Law has particular expertise in such situations, in part deriving from its representation of the liquidators of Stanford International Bank for many years.
