Client Situations We Regularly Handle

International investigations and criminal proceedings don’t stop at borders. A case initiated in one country can lead to arrest warrants, blocked bank accounts, and cross-border asset seizures.

Do You Recognize Yourself in These Scenarios?

01

“I just signed the papers — now I’m being summoned abroad.”

You're a director or shareholder in a company involved in cross-border trade. Months later, the recipient country launches a sanctions investigation. You're contacted as a witness — but your name is already in official reports.

We assess the risks, provide legal strategy across jurisdictions, and shield you from making critical mistakes.


02

“A criminal case has been filed against me in the EU — but I live elsewhere.”

You’re under suspicion in a money laundering, tax, or sanctions violation case. No arrest yet, but you're named. Your bank accounts are flagged. Travel is dangerous.

We act before extradition becomes a threat. We coordinate your defence, engage local counsel, and build a transnational legal position.


03

“They froze my assets — but I haven’t been charged.”

You're not officially accused, but you're linked to a person or entity under investigation abroad — possibly a former business partner, ex-employer, or client. Without warning, your accounts are frozen, and your name appears in compliance alerts across borders.

We intervene early to challenge unlawful freezes, clarify your legal status, and restore your ability to operate globally.
