At KEMP, we leave no stone unturned in pursuit of our clients’ interests.
Asset tracing and recovery requires expertise and resourcefulness, especially when complicated by cross-border issues. We put our utmost tenacity to work in cases of financial misconduct, commercial fraud and misappropriations. Clients trust us to pursue the most effective means of asset recovery, wherever each investigation leads.
In one noted recent case, KEMP principals recovered misappropriated funds in excess of HK$ 300 million for a state government client. We also advise individuals and business entities, with a new growth practice in the cryptocurrency economy. We are experienced in obtaining emergency freezing and disclosure orders to restrain funds before a case becomes multi-jurisdictional. When it does, we have a long history of success in collaborative international fraud investigations. We leave no stone unturned in the service of our clients.
