A Record of Results

Represented a high-net-worth business owner in a contested divorce involving residential and commercial real estate across three jurisdictions, a 40% stake in an operating company, two pension funds, and offshore investment accounts. The opposing party retained aggressive counsel and contested virtually every asset. Our team engaged forensic accountants, international property appraisers, and pension actuaries to build a complete picture of marital assets — including assets the opposing party had attempted to conceal through a series of pre-filing transfers.

Represented a mid-size construction company defrauded by a subcontractor who submitted falsified invoices and diverted payments across multiple shell accounts over an 18-month period. Total losses exceeded $480,000 before the scheme was uncovered during an internal audit. We filed an emergency asset-freezing order within 48 hours of engagement, preventing further dissipation of funds, then pursued simultaneous claims for fraud, unjust enrichment, and breach of contract. A forensic accounting team we retained traced diverted funds across four entities and two jurisdictions.

Represented a 30% minority shareholder in a derivative action against the majority shareholder and CEO of a privately held logistics company valued at approximately $14 million. Over a three-year period, the majority shareholder had systematically redirected profitable contracts to a competing entity he secretly owned, suppressed dividend distributions, and manipulated internal financial records to understate company performance. We pursued claims of breach of fiduciary duty, self-dealing, and fraudulent misrepresentation — supported by a forensic accounting analysis that reconstructed five years of diverted revenue.

Represented the operator of a regional retail business who had entered a 10-year commercial lease on a prime location. Eighteen months into the lease, the landlord anticipating a more lucrative redevelopment opportunity began a systematic campaign to force early termination: withholding agreed infrastructure upgrades, failing to maintain essential building systems, and ultimately cutting utility services without notice. Our client was forced to suspend operations for 11 weeks, resulting in significant revenue loss, staff costs, and permanent damage to customer relationships. We pursued breach of contract, tortious interference, and constructive eviction claims.

Represented a dual UK–US citizen who had been resident in London for nine years while remaining subject to US tax obligations as an American citizen. The client had not filed US federal returns for six years and faced potential IRS enforcement action and significant penalties under FBAR and FATCA reporting requirements. Simultaneously, an HMRC compliance check had been opened regarding undisclosed US-sourced dividend income. Our attorneys coordinated a simultaneous voluntary disclosure to both the IRS Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures and HMRC's Worldwide Disclosure Facility, ensuring neither disclosure created additional exposure with the other authority. A full six-year filing reconstruction was completed and submitted within 90 days of engagement.

Resolved a 14-year title dispute on a commercial property inherited by our client following the death of a parent who had died without a formal will. Four parties — including a sibling, a creditor claiming a lien, and two distant relatives asserting heirship rights — filed competing claims that had effectively frozen the property and prevented its sale for over a decade. The property had meanwhile deteriorated in value and accumulated arrears. We navigated intestate succession law, challenged the validity of the creditor's lien on procedural and substantive grounds, and pursued a quiet title action to extinguish all competing interests.
