Civil Fraud & Asset Recovery

Protecting Value Through Strategic Fraud Litigation, Asset Tracing, and Enforcement

Fraud and asset misappropriation disputes in Pakistan often involve cross-border elements, complex corporate structures, and urgent interim relief. JuristiQ Chambers advises and represents clients in high-value fraud claims, asset tracing, and enforcement actions, using both civil and criminal law tools where appropriate.

Our approach is focused on early intervention, evidence preservation, and enforcement strategy, recognising that the success of fraud disputes depends as much on procedural control and asset recovery as on substantive legal arguments.

Civil Fraud & Misrepresentation Claims

We advise on and litigate disputes involving:

• Fraud and Misrepresentation

• Deceit and wrongful inducement

• Breach of trust and fiduciary misconduct

• Corporate fraud and breach of duty

• Dishonest Assistance and Knowing Receipt

• Misappropriation of funds and fraudulent transactions

Our litigation strategy is grounded in the applicable principles of contract, tort, and equity, with a strong focus on proving intent, causation, and loss in accordance with Pakistani law and evidence rules.

Asset Tracing & Recovery

We support clients in tracing and recovering assets that have been:

• Diverted through corporate structures

• Transferred to third parties

• Concealed in domestic or foreign jurisdictions

Our work includes:

• Identification and tracing of assets

• Recovery strategy and enforcement planning

• Coordination with international counsel for cross-border enforcement

We understand that asset recovery is rarely a single proceeding and often requires a multi-step legal strategy across jurisdictions.

Urgent Interim Relief & Protective Measures

Fraud disputes frequently require urgent relief to preserve assets and prevent dissipation. We regularly seek and obtain interim measures, including:

• Freezing orders (injunctions restraining disposal or transfer)

• Mareva-style injunctions and pre-judgment attachment orders

• Orders for disclosure and production of documents

• Interim preservation of evidence and account restraints

Our approach is practical and evidence-based, ensuring that interim relief is pursued with proper legal foundation and procedural precision.

Enforcement of Judgments and Awards

We advise on:

• Enforcement of Pakistani judgments and orders

• Enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards in Pakistan

• Execution proceedings and asset seizure

Our strategy is designed to deliver enforceable outcomes and preserve value, including through coordinated enforcement actions across multiple jurisdictions where necessary.

Related Criminal and Regulatory Dimensions

Where appropriate, we advise clients on:

• Coordination with criminal investigations

• Reporting to regulatory authorities

• Coordination with banking, securities, and corporate regulators

Our objective is to achieve the most effective remedy, whether through civil recovery, criminal process, or regulatory action.

Our Approach

Fraud disputes are often highly sensitive and time-critical. JuristiQ Chambers provides:

• Early risk assessment and evidence preservation strategy

• Litigation and enforcement planning from the outset

• Practical and commercially aware advocacy

• Strong focus on preserving reputation and mitigating business disruption

We guide clients through the complexity of fraud disputes with clarity, control, and confidence.
