Project Description
Overview
I was engaged as an independent expert to prepare a technical report on complex financial instruments and contractual breaches, with the aim of providing a solid evidentiary basis for the litigation strategy and the recovery of invested funds. The work reconstructed facts, obligations, and violations in a traceable, replicable manner, giving the legal team a documentary framework usable in court and in arbitration.
Client Profile
Mandate for a European investor exposed through asset-management agreements and the monetization of unlisted bonds, with cross-border relationships and a foreign counterparty. The brief was to verify regulatory compliance, the consistency of contractual undertakings, and the existence of enforceable claims, translating the technical analysis into action-ready materials for legal proceedings.
Approach
I analysed contracts, addenda, and correspondence, rebuilding the timeline, financial obligations, and missed payments; I verified regulatory alignment (including checks against supervisory registers) and estimated the amounts subject to formal demand. The report clearly separates the factual basis, applicable rules, and procedural options (debt recovery in the UK, international arbitration, actions against senior officers), with appendices and precise references supporting the claimant’s case.
Results
The expert opinion enabled a focused and defensible legal action, accelerating decision-making and providing a complete evidence pack (assumptions, sources, evidence, quantifications). The materials were instrumental in securing the recovery of the investor’s funds and remain reusable for any further actions or settlements.
