CRA’s Risk, Investigations & Analytics team was retained by a litigation funder to help them determine whether to fund an arbitration claim in the UK.
Our team conducted research in Ukraine, Cyprus, Luxembourg, France, and Switzerland, leveraging corporate filings, local and international media, court filings, property records and other public record sources. CRA’s investigation uncovered significant legal and reputational issues, including allegations of embezzlement and criminal proceedings, intimidation tactics directed at foreign investors, and obstruction of legal processes. CRA provided a detailed assessment of assets linked to the defendants in multiple European jurisdictions in order to assess solvency. CRA also alerted the client to parallel civil proceedings in Ukraine and Cyprus, of which they were not aware. Our in-depth findings aided the client in reaching an informed, risk-based funding decision.
