About the IFG

The International Fraud Group began in London in 1997. Established by leading London firm, Mishcon de Reya, it was a specific response to a client’s needs. To recover assets stolen and spirited away into multiple jurisdictions. An alliance of law firms was created for the purpose. With devastating success. This one-off alliance has become a permanent global network.

We have members in 53 countries, including those key offshore jurisdictions where fraudsters are particularly fond of hiding stolen assets. 31 firms united by the conviction that “What is yours is yours”, “ce qui est à toi est à toi”, “was dein ist, ist dein”, “cio che e tuo e tuo”, “lo que es tuyo, es tuyo”, “o que e seu, e seu”, “wat van jou is van jou”, “hva er ditt, er ditt”.

What we do

Our weapons of choice are the order and the injunction. We can then pursue fraudsters across jurisdictions care of the global nature of our network. IFG lawyers are expert in the use of cross-border piggyback injunctions specifically for this purpose.

We can shine a light on trusts which fraudsters have created, find out who is pulling the strings and expose their sham structures.

We can track the electronic movement of money and, with an order, compel the institution that has handled it to tell us where it has gone. If it is still there, we will freeze it.
