NYK Law Firm collaborates our advisory and litigation services and our experience across prime global locations to provide services on financial or white-collar crimes. We put our legal expertise to identifying relevant documentation, to assess and verify how genuine they could be, and extend our support in representation/defense of financial crimes, including misappropriation of funds, embezzlement, criminal breach of trust etc.

We yearn to establish relationship with government bodies and policymakers to transform our practice to an optimal one, and to keep track of the regulatory developments or possible loopholes.

We also understand our clients’ constraints in terms of time, awareness of possible technicalities and so on, which might prevent adequate verification of documentation, resulting in the same being an open possibility for financial fraudsters to take advantage of. Hence, we assist in identifying possible red flags by verification of the relevant facts and documentation involved.
