Investment Fraud & Recovery
Verify before investment, protect the funds during it, detect fraud early and pursue recovery.
What it is
Most investment fraud is preventable at the verification stage and expensive at every stage after it. We check the counterparty before funds move, build safeguards into the documentation, and — where fraud has already occurred — preserve evidence, trace the money and pursue recovery, including where the parties or assets sit outside Bangladesh.
What this covers
Investment Due Diligence
We verify the investor, company, ownership, financial position, assets, licences and contractual obligations before funds are committed.
Fraud Risk Assessment
We identify risks involving false representations, forged documents, diversion of investment funds, concealed liabilities, fraudulent joint ventures and unauthorised transactions.
Transaction & Fund Protection
We structure investment, JV and shareholder agreements with appropriate safeguards, reporting obligations, warranties, indemnities and exit mechanisms.
Investigation & Recovery
Where fraud occurs, we assist in evidence preservation, financial tracing, internal investigation, negotiation and recovery of diverted assets or funds.
Regulatory & Cross-Border Assistance
We advise on foreign-exchange, investment, AML and KYC and repatriation requirements, and coordinate appropriate action where funds or parties are outside Bangladesh.
Dispute Resolution & Litigation Support
We develop strategies for settlement, mediation, arbitration and civil or criminal proceedings, coordinating with appropriate Advocates where formal proceedings are required.
