The civil fraud team at DLA Piper is particularly renowned for complex cases in the financial services, energy, funds, private wealth, and media, sports, and entertainment sectors. Its clients therein are household name multinationals and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and the firm’s global network facilitates efficient service in multi-jurisdictional matters. Cases in which the fraud has a connection to an emerging market are a particular strength of the practice. James Carter is the lead contact at the London office and as the firm’s head of energy and natural resources in the UK, he is a go-to for fraud arising in those sectors. Jamie Curle is well-versed in cross-border cases and class actions, and Charles Allin has particular experience in fraud and asset recovery work. Jeremy Sher is an expert in international disputes, and Nadya Rouben has a focus on civil fraud across the Middle East, Africa, Russia, and offshore jurisdictions.
