An accomplished trial lawyer with a practice focusing on cross-border investigations, disputes, judgment enforcement, asset recovery, and regulatory enforcement matters for clients based in the UK, greater Europe, and Africa. My experience includes government, in-house and corporate counsel roles, handling matters involving securities and financial fraud, market manipulation, including foreign exchange benchmark and Libor manipulation, and financial crimes. In addition, I handle matters relating to futures and derivatives.Before joining Kobre & Kim, I was associate general counsel at HSBC Bank in London, conducting cross-border investigations and serving as defense counsel in matters posing significant exposure, including allegations of financial crimes. In that role, I responded to inquiries and liaised with regulators throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas, including the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the UK's Serious Fraud Office and the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Most recently, I was a director in global markets, managing Dodd-Frank compliance and advising on certain aspects of the Federal Reserve Board order and DOJ deferred prosecution agreement related to fraud charges in the rigging of currency rates.
