Recent areas of activity include handling shareholder disputes, insolvency litigation, asset tracing matters and enforcement proceedings. The team notably handled some of the largest asset tracing litigation involving CIS states, and more recently ventured into emerging areas, including cryptocurrency disputes. The ‘very smart and practical’ Mark Forte sits at the helm of the department and acts in cross-border litigation, insolvency proceedings and emergency interim relief work, while Richard Evans excels in shareholder disputes, with a particular focus on those stemming from Asian jurisdictions.
