In this Tea we indulge in the world of investigations and asset recovery. Ashley Messick, managing director and leader of the London disputes and sovereign debt advisory teams at JS Held, sheds light on what companies like hers do, how investigations and asset recovery work in real life and in practice (and how they should not), and how this field helps parties from the outset determine legal strategy, acquire evidence to win cases, and of course, recover judgments.
