What the team is known for
Mishcon de Reya has a market-leading international fraud practice renowned for the enforcement of judgments in difficult circumstances and legal jurisdictions that represent significant challenges for foreign parties. Civil fraud claims, investigations and acting for owner-managed businesses in cross-border litigation proceedings are other key areas of international expertise, and the team is highlighted for its ability to both obtain and overturn injunctions domestically and internationally.
