The Centre for Commercial Law Studies from Queen Mary University of London is delighted to announce the return of the popular International Asset Recovery Course.

Delivery format:

• Lectures, seminars, workshops.
• English legal system centric but with reference to civil law countries.

The course will centre around an asset recovery case study which will form the focal point of the course and develop as the course progresses. You will be divided into investigative teams, working as independent task force groups for the whole duration of the programme. Group discussions will focus on key topical areas, identify problems that have occurred in actual cases, arrive at potential solutions and compare different practices and approaches between the groups.

It will be delivered by a group of leading specialist fraud practitioners from Blackstone Chambers and Mishcon de Reya. The course is led by Mr Gary Miller, a Partner and Chairman of the International Fraud Group at Mishcon, supported by highly rated junior barristers Mr Luka Krsljanin and Mr Ajay Ratan, both of Blackstone Chambers, and Philippa Rees, a Professional Support Lawyer at Mishcon.
