KOBRE & KIM is a global law firm focused exclusively on disputes and investigations with particular experience in providing offensive, counter-offensive and defensive cross-border litigation and crisis management strategies to ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) with global business interests, to preserve their assets, liberty and reputation. Their team of former US government lawyers and commercial litigators have a proven track record of coordinating multi-jurisdictional strategies on behalf of international private clients in anticipation of or as a result of high-stakes civil and criminal proceedings and investigations aimed at asset forfeiture or confiscation. Their multidimensional approach to UHNWI disputes – which includes the deployment of both in-court and out-of court strategies – is the premier solution for resolving business disputes and sovereign-driven investigations, tracing and recovering misappropriated funds and defending against asset attacks, as well as acquiring and strategically deploying information to provide UHNWIs with a commercial advantage in their disputes and investigations. They focus exclusively on serving as special counsel in discreet engagements and regularly work in tandem with family offices, financial advisers and transactional counsel, who serve as long-standing advisers to clients facing these kinds of high-stakes proceedings and investigations. This model allows them to uphold the highest level of confidentiality, take aggressive positions against financial institutions involved in complex trust and estate structures and litigate issues such as unlawfully frozen assets, breach of fiduciary duty and misuse of trust assets, where other law firms are likely to have competing interests.
