Lead Attorney: Avi Shapiro
At Klein Shapiro we do more than litigate. We deliver outcomes. When assets are hidden or at risk, we act decisively to bring them back where they belong.
Our Approach
• Asset Tracing and Forensic Investigation
We employ advanced analytics, corporate registry mapping, and international intelligence networks to locate assets concealed through offshore entities, layered trusts, digital platforms, and nominee arrangements.
• Cross-Border Enforcement
Based in London and Singapore, and supported by a network of local counsel worldwide, we enforce judgments and arbitral awards in multiple jurisdictions, including those designed to shield assets.
• Urgent Remedies and Litigation
We act swiftly to obtain freezing orders, injunctions, and disclosure orders that prevent dissipation and compel counterparties to comply.
• Risk Advisory and Prevention
Beyond recovery, we advise clients on structuring transactions, strengthening compliance, and mitigating counterparty risk to reduce exposure to future disputes.
