Asset Tracing & Recovery (Law Firms)

About

Provided by Cooke, Young & Keidan LLP

Cooke, Young & Keidan (CYK) is a premier specialist disputes law firm established in 2009 and a firm rapidly on the rise in the asset recovery space. As well as the firm's rankings for Asset Recovery by Chambers & Partners, CYK is one of only ten firms worldwide to have more than one asset recovery specialist recognised as a Global Elite Thought Leader by Who's Who Legal (two of only seventy such lawyers worldwide).  

CYK's global recognition is reflected by the team’s mandates, namely a number of high profile and high (and in some cases ultra-high) value international asset recovery cases. This includes (i) the largest ever non-class action case commenced in the English courts with an estimated value at US$14 billion, (ii) a US$1+ billion multi-jurisdictional claim, (iii) one of The Lawyer’s former Top 20 Cases, and (iv) the recognition and enforcement of substantial judgments/awards involving both commercial parties and states.

We are proud of our reputation for being a tenacious and innovative firm who seeks to find ways to win, even with cases that look very difficult at the outset. The common features of our work are that our cases tend to (1) be complex or “cutting edge” matters, invariably with an international element; (2) have high financial values; and (3) have top 20 London law firms (or leading US firms) acting on the other side. We are known for taking on and winning difficult cases against top opposition.
