Read MoreWe are market leaders in sovereign debt recovery.
Our team of political experts, investigators, and asset recovery specialists is focused on monetizing your award.
Whether through a robust enforcement strategy, securing financial support and expertise, or supporting negotiations, we have successfully helped our clients recover sovereign debt in some of the most difficult jurisdictions around the world.
Our experts work with sovereign arbitral award holders to monetize their holding and efficiently recover funds by incorporating our years of experience in tracing the assets of states, obtaining intelligence on political and commercial leverage points to encourage settlement, and coordinating global recovery efforts.
We assess the ‘attractiveness’ of a specific sovereign award or other form of commercial sovereign debt prior to purchase. From ease of enforceability, to litigation risk, to available leverage tools and political factors, our assessments provide clients with the necessary information to evaluate their potential investment. This is also applicable on the sell-side.
We advise clients as they are entering the sovereign debt market or looking to expand their position. From insight into the risks and opportunities presented by different types of sovereigns to assessing the viability of asset recovery and enforcement; we help our clients identify their ideal target investments and provide political-economic assessments to help underpin their decision making.
We manage the entire enforcement process, taking the burden off the debt holder. We have the in-house expertise and resources unique to sovereign collection coupled with a global network of sovereign enforcement specialists. We are ideally placed to bring together a tailored team of experts and effectively monetize sovereign awards. From generating the overarching recovery strategy, to identifying and gathering evidence on enforceable assets, to bringing together the appropriate legal team for coordinated, multi-jurisdictional enforcement litigation– our work is underpinned by our years of experience in managing large scale recovery cases.
Our experts work with sovereign award holders, those who purchase awards on the secondary market, sovereign bond holders, financial institutions with outstanding sovereign loans, commercial parties with outstanding SOE loans including resource-backed loans, and investors in the sovereign debt space.
We advise clients prior to investment and, in cases of non-payment or default, we work closely with holders of sovereign arbitral awards or other forms of distressed sovereign debt to assess the options available and provide the tools needed to maximize their investment.
