The Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) has developed the course in collaboration with Mishcon de Reya and Blackstone Chambers. Mishcon de Reya is one of London’s leading commercial law firms which specialises in International Asset Tracing and Recovery. Blackstone Chambers, as one of London’s pre-eminent sets of commercial chambers, has a long held reputation for its international fraud and asset tracing practice.

Asset tracing and recovery

The five day programme is aimed at a wide audience including practitioners, judges and economists and will help learners to build upon their existing expertise in the area of asset tracing and recovery. Delivered through lectures, seminars and workshops, the course structure reflects the entire process which legal professionals have to go through from the moment of discovery of a theft up to the execution of legal orders as part of the recovery process.

Professor Ian Walden, Head of the Centre for Commercial Law Studies said: “CCLS has a long history of contributing to the training of practitioners and industry professionals through innovative and in-depth content offerings. I am proud that we are continuing to support their professional development by working alongside some of the leading law firms in the country.”
