Fact

Financial fraudsters deliberately operate across different jurisdictions, making it difficult to track them and hold them accountable.

However, this is not an obstacle for us, as our company is part of the global legal partnership program WSG:

  • 36

    Specialists working in the main office

  • $35,864,938

    Total amount of recoveries for 2024

  • +67

    New regular clients in 2024

  • 449

    Total number of new clients in 2024

Today, interaction with brokers and exchanges can occur through servers located in one country, the official counterparty may be a company from another jurisdiction, accounts may be located in a third, and the affected individual — in a fourth, which complicates the process of fund recovery and bringing fraudsters to justice.

The WSG partnership program ensures our cooperation with leading companies in key jurisdictions around the world. This includes countries belonging to different legal systems, namely USA, United Kingdom, European Union countries, China, UAE, Switzerland, Singapore, Australia and many others.

Working interaction with local experts in each individual jurisdiction ensures prompt and effective use of legal and financial mechanisms taking into account the specifics of local legislation - to fulfill the tasks set before us.

Local partners have established contacts in judicial and law enforcement agencies, which significantly speeds up the process of resolving legal issues and eliminates unnecessary delays. This cooperation model guarantees effective resolution of client tasks, timely and taking into account all nuances of local legislation.

At the same time, the foundations of the legal system in many countries are based on universal principles, which allows our company to develop strategy and keep key points under full control of our specialists. This combination of global approach and local expertise ensures efficiency and reliability.

Compensation for damages in case of impossibility of fund recovery

If you have become a victim of financial fraud and have not received protection from government agencies, you can exercise the right to compensation for damages through legally provided mechanisms.

This right is enshrined in European Union Directive 2004/80/EC on compensation for crime victims, as well as in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).

Depending on the specific situation, compensation may be provided from state funds or confiscated assets under the control of law enforcement agencies.

The choice of the appropriate compensation program depends on a number of factors, including:

  • the jurisdiction in which the offense was committed;
  • citizenship and place of residence of the victim;
  • the presence of an initiated criminal case or judicial
    proceedings;
  • the degree of documentary confirmation of damage and circumstances
    of fraud;
  • the legal status of assets subject to recovery or compensation.
Legal Framework

Key Competitive Advantages That Drive Our Success:

Support through cooperation with volunteer organizations

For clients in difficult financial situations, we offer support within annual PRO-BONO quotas. In some cases, service provision may be organized through cooperation with volunteer organizations, which allows providing necessary assistance without financial burden for victims.

Access to international database of financial fraudsters

Thanks to our firm's specialization, we have access to an international database that is updated daily and maintained. It contains detailed information and dossiers on financial fraudsters and unscrupulous counterparties. This significantly simplifies and speeds up the work of their identification and bringing to justice.

Compensation for damages to victims of financial fraud from state funds

We ensure our clients' participation in compensation programs and class actions against government institutions that bear material responsibility for the lack of proper control in areas where financial fraud was committed (investment activities, stock trading)

Ensuring efficiency as appropriate to the situation

We never lure clients with promises of quick problem resolution as others do. In some cases, efficiency is indeed important, and we respond to the situation as quickly as possible. In other cases - a quality solution requires time for thorough analysis, evidence gathering and strategic approach.

Ensuring recovery of investments and compensation for damages from unscrupulous counterparties out of court

An effective tool for fund recovery is the freezing of accounts to which your money was transferred. Until the case is resolved in court, the counterparty whose accounts are frozen will not be able to dispose of funds in these accounts. This creates conditions for accelerated contractual dispute resolution and recovery of your investments.

Use of innovative technologies and methods

The company has an IT department that is responsible for the technical side of all issues and is fully adapted to our specialization. We actively use achievements of modern science and technology, including artificial intelligence, machine learning and other innovative developments, to ensure maximum efficiency in fulfilling the tasks set before us.

Expert consultation is essential for making informed decisions. Our team will deliver a comprehensive professional assessment to guide your strategic choices.
