Complex Financial Disputes

Lewis Baach lawyers have extensive experience in some of the most complex and significant disputes to have arisen in recent years in world financial markets.  From working to unravel the $10 billion fraud within BCCI and assist in repatriating more than 90% of funds to creditors, to representation of a leading pension fund in the WorldCom litigation, to representing leading hedge funds and investors in disputes with financial institutions, to litigating securities fraud claims arising out of the CDO debacle, Lewis Baach lawyers have the financial experience and sophistication to evaluate, understand and advise with respect to complex financial instruments and intricate transactional histories.

We have represented some of the nation’s largest hedge funds in litigation involving Central Asian privatizations, fallout from the Russian ruble crisis and crises in the Japanese equity markets.  We obtained a $1 billion judgment at trial against a nominee cooperating with corrupt prior management at BCCI to hide huge commodities trading losses.  We represented a leading UK pension fund in litigation involving the massive accounting fraud at WorldCom.  We have also represented senior governmental officials, corporate leaders at Fortune 50 companies and the head of the Oil-for-Food Programme in investigations of alleged financial irregularities.  We have also acted on behalf of international liquidators in investigating and litigating claims against financial institutions, accounting firms, investment advisers, brokers, appraisers and other investment professionals.

While other law firms may offer unwieldy teams, few will have greater experience, market expertise and success in complex, high-stakes financial disputes than the attorneys at Lewis Baach.
