We served as liquidators’ U.S. counsel in the world’s largest bank insolvency—the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI)—including winning one of the largest RICO fraud verdicts ever, over $1 billion, against a former Saudi government official and handled the largest criminal asset forfeiture in U.S. history.
Our attorneys supervised successful asset recovery across 13 countries against a fugitive from U.S. justice, and represented the liquidators of Laker Airways, Madoff International Securities, Akai Electronics, Polly Peck, First Cayman Bank, Carlyle Capital Corp., Galleria Corp, and other noted companies and land investment funds. We are serving as Global Legal Coordinator for the Algosaibi family, victims of a $10 billion fraud in Saudi Arabia, coordinating strategy and litigation in more than a dozen jurisdictions. We also have experience representing large family conglomerates in disputes with major multi-national beverage, automobile and hotel companies.
Our clients get rock-solid experience in solving crucial transnational legal problems—insolvency, fraud, investigations, and more, in hedge funds, banking, insurance, reinsurance, and other industries.
Representing clients in England, the Cayman Islands, the Channel Islands, Luxembourg, and elsewhere, we litigate on behalf of foreign governments, political figures, companies, and individuals in the U.S. courts. And we coordinate transnational legal disputes involving interests in the United States, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, the Caribbean, South and Central America, the Middle East, and Asia. A member of the International Business Law Consortium, we maintain close working relationships with leading law firms around the world to bring local legal expertise to bear in solving the most complex and challenging international disputes.
Our lawyers lecture and publish on a wide variety of transnational litigation topics such as obtaining U.S. discovery in aid of foreign proceedings and insolvency proceedings in the U.S. ancillary to foreign liquidations.
Our lawyers are not only experienced in other jurisdictions. Lewis Baach has lawyers and legal assistants fluent in Spanish, Arabic, and South and Central Asian languages.
