Corporate Raiding & International Protection

We understand that this kind of coordinated campaign can be extremely stressful for our clients, and often damaging to both their businesses and their personal lives. This is especially so when the persecution is sophisticated, and not in a form that can be easily proven, or be defended against without fear of reprisal.

We litigate against this kind of persecution through a coordinated approach that protects all of our clients’ various interests. We believe that trust is vital, and we work to build a relationship built on mutual respect as a trusted adviser. We are always sensitive to our clients’ individual circumstances, and to the political and diplomatic elements of their cases, and will work with you to tailor a strategy that provides the best protection available. We think in strategic terms, wider than most lost law firms.  We form a team using expertise across the firm to give the best chance of finding evidence and protecting all applicable rights and remedies.  We also have networks of security and political experts who we bring on board as part of the team from an early stage where required.

Political asylum claims are typically at the core of our strategy. Asylum provides the strongest protection: it blocks extradition, is conducted within confidential proceedings, results in the grant of a United Nations travel document, and usually acts to remedy some of the reputational damage caused to the victim of the raid.
