Fraud and asset tracing

We are used to working as part of a multi-jurisdictional team, capable of reacting and responding quickly to urgent requests for assistance with locating and freezing assets.

As sophisticated defendants become more adept at dissipating assets, we've been involved in cases that created new law in the Channel Islands in relation to a party's ability to trace assets and recover their losses. With their ability to deal with complex issues, the team deliver clear, commercial advice on the availability and likely success of recovery methods.

With specialists across not only Guernsey and Jersey but also in the British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands, services provided by our fraud and asset tracing lawyers include:

  • Immediate applications for freezing and search orders
  • Expedited Norwich Pharmacal order and disclosure proceedings
  • Asset-tracing across trust structures and corporate vehicles
  • Coordination with criminal and regulatory investigations where overlap exists. 

Our international footprint lets us deliver prompt, all‑round legal support precisely when clients need it most.
