Sequor Law


Sequor Law has taken a strategic step forward in its national growth with the opening of its Washington, D.C. office and the appointment of Tara Plochocki as partner and office head. The expansion reinforces the firm’s position as a premier boutique focused on Asset Recovery, Cross-Border Insolvency, and representing victims of financial fraud worldwide.


The D.C. office marks Sequor’s first location outside Miami. The move is not about geography for its own sake. It is about strengthening capabilities in matters that require a presence in the nation’s capital. Washington is central to sovereign disputes, corruption-based litigation, arbitral award enforcement, and investor-state matters. For a firm that routinely handles complex International Litigation and global recovery strategies, this is a natural extension.


Tara Plochocki brings deep experience in cross-border financial disputes and international recovery efforts. Her work aligns directly with Sequor’s focus on tracing, freezing, and recovering misappropriated assets across jurisdictions. Her involvement with ICC FraudNet, a leading global network of asset recovery practitioners, mirrors the firm’s long-standing international reach. The connection is not incidental. Founding shareholder Edward Davis Jr. has been active with ICC FraudNet for years, and shareholder Arnoldo Lacayo is also part of that network. The professional alignment among these practitioners helped shape the launch of the D.C. office.


Sequor’s leadership has been clear about its identity. The firm is not pursuing full-service expansion. It remains a focused boutique dedicated to Asset Recovery, cross-border fraud litigation, Creditors’ Rights, and enforcement of judgments and arbitral awards. Washington strengthens the firm’s ability to act in matters involving sovereign corruption, state-owned enterprises, and complex enforcement proceedings that require federal court litigation or proximity to U.S. agencies.


The addition of Plochocki also supports growth in areas such as International Arbitration and arbitral award enforcement. D.C. courts frequently handle disputes involving foreign sovereigns and international entities. Establishing a presence there positions Sequor to act quickly when assets, jurisdiction, or enforcement opportunities arise.


Firm leadership has emphasized that the expansion will be intentional and aligned with its boutique model. The goal is integration, not scale for its own sake. The D.C. office is designed to complement the Miami headquarters while elevating Sequor’s national and global profile.


For companies, sovereigns, and individuals confronting fraud, corruption, or complex cross-border disputes, the firm’s expanded footprint enhances its ability to pursue recovery wherever assets are located.
