McCann FitzGerald LLP offers expert, forward-thinking legal counsel to clients in Ireland and around the world. Our deep knowledge spans a range of industry sectors, so we can see around corners and tailor solutions to fit your specific needs.

Our International Asset Tracing Group, led by Audrey Byrne, is a cross-disciplinary group of lawyers that is strategically led and project managed. We support clients in dealing with urgent and often complex issues around cross-border movement of assets which may involve attempts to put assets beyond our clients’ reach. Client’s value the unrivalled breadth and depth of our experience in asset tracing across a large variety of jurisdictions and our focus on enforcement methods and recovery.

Our team includes specialists with experience in forensic investigative techniques, white-collar crime, and public and private law enforcement work. Our lawyers are particularly skilled in international asset tracing - we have countered fraudulent activity through the appointment of receivers, liquidators and administrators in offshore jurisdictions including Belize, Panama and BVI. We have pursued the enforcement of judgments in non-treaty jurisdictions using comity and letters of request between courts and coordinated claims arising from contrived bankruptcies and other fraudulent steps resulting in the recovery of valuable real estate assets.
