Practitioners’ decades of experience on multi-jurisdictional enforcement cases and recovering non-performing portfolios are a boon for its client base of banks and financial institutions. Tony Lewis leads the team, bringing to bear more than three decades of litigation experience on issues arising from fraudulent conduct, including investigations, recovering assets, and the interplay between civil and criminal proceedings.
