Work Highlights
Results Under Pressure
Criminal Litigation Advocacy
In a recent landmark case, we represented a large manufacturing company whose corporate debtor had defaulted on a significant payment evidenced by multiple bounced cheques. We sent a stringent legal notice that prompted immediate settlement discussions and recovered the full amount plus damages through a structured payment agreement, avoiding prolonged litigation.
Regulatory Defence for a Financial Institution
We defended a financial institution accused of fraudulent practices in loan issuance. Our in-depth investigation revealed procedural lapses without criminal intent; by presenting comprehensive evidence and negotiating skilfully with regulatory bodies, we had most charges dropped with minimal fines instead of criminal penalties — preserving the institution’s licence and reputation.
Defensive Strategies for Corporations
For a multinational facing repeated challenges over non-compliance with new financial regulations, we devised and implemented a tailored compliance programme — training sessions, regular audits and updated internal policies — significantly reducing legal risk and strengthening the client’s corporate governance and compliance culture.
