Fraud Through the Ages![]() Keith Oliver “A speculation or a swindle? Let us call things by their proper names,” so said Oscar Wilde, and as we live in an age of financial uncertainty, as well as technological advancement, no wonder we get caught by the lure of clickable profits. We saw all the glossy adverts for cryptocurrencies at the Super Bowl but, as we watch them tumble, Shakespeare reminds us that “who makes the fairest show means most deceit!” Is cryptocurrency following in the footsteps of the South Sea Bubble, tulip mania, or the dot-com bubble? Keith Oliver will remind you all of the benefit of hindsight in a whistlestop tour of fraud through the centuries. |

Deploying Forensic Accounting, Corporate Intelligence and Psychodynamic Services for High Stakes Fraud and Asset Recovery Investigations![]() Joann Arweiler ![]() Martin Kenney ![]() Saverio Lembo ![]() Dr. Alexander Stein Forensic Accountants and corporate intelligence providers can make or break an asset recovery case; and it is critical that they identify the right tools to use and manage the associated risks. The ability of accountants and corporate intelligence specialists to quickly identify and retrieve reliable evidence is both an important and necessary skill, and often serves to inject crucial momentum into the early stages of an investigation. Psychodynamic Intelligence is an additionally impactful, though often under-utilized, tool in the very human fight to bring fraudsters to justice and recover victims’ losses. Join our experts as they discuss the most effective tools and skills that are used to gather information in asset recovery cases, such as:

Miller ![]() Adam Crane ![]() Richard Templeman The international nature of the financial services industry and other companies registered in multiple jurisdictions necessarily means that fraud litigation is almost invariably cross-border. In addition, offshore and cross-border fraud litigation is very expensive and requires a preliminary high-level assessment of funding and recovery prospects. Join this interactive session as we review some of the biggest challenges for recovering assets across borders involving onshore and offshore jurisdictions, such as:

Davis, Jr. ![]() Héctor Sbert ![]() Lyndsay Sykes When an international fraud involves a number of jurisdictions, the individual or entity intending to bring a civil fraud claim to recoup their losses often faces multiple issues that impact the ability to recover.

Norwich Pharmacal Relief: Discussing the Availability of Relief in Foreign Proceedings![]() Richard Gillis KC ![]() Jennifer Fox ![]() Andrew McLeod ![]() Paul Smith In England and Wales, Norwich Pharmacal is generally unavailable to pursue proceedings out of the jurisdiction – following Ramilos Trading Ltd v Buyanovsky. This creates real obstacles in cross-border and multi-jurisdictional fraud and asset tracing claims where evidence or information is held by English-based third parties. However, in the last two years, the Cayman and BVI courts have handed down major decisions that refuse to follow Ramilos, holding that relief can be obtained for the purpose of taking action outside the jurisdiction. Join this session as our panel of experts discuss if this marks a new trend allowing relief to support foreign proceedings. |
