Added to existing IP- and shipment seizure-based anti-illicit trade strategies, new international asset-focused strategies are increasingly effective at meaningfully reducing traffickers’ market share. We’ve taken international civil law concepts honed by our experience collecting on massive international arbitration judgments for conglomerates and combined them with an approach used by U.S. Department of Justice international money laundering prosecutors and developed a jurisdiction- and industry-neutral process to design and execute ROI-efficient strategies aimed at weaponizing traffickers’ international asset-protection structures against the traffickers and their enablers. By attacking the assets internationally, we increase the traffickers’ cost-of-production, and the risk of facing serious money laundering charges and international asset confiscation becomes prohibitive. It would be helpful for in-house counsels to attend this session so that they can hear from lawyers with specialties not commonly needed/found in-house, and think of how surgically deploying these cutting-edge asset-focused strategies against top targets could turn internal cost centers into profit-makers through market-share restoration. |
