  • EDITED Sequor Law Expands: Complex Cross-Border Bankruptcy Litigation Expertise Grows| Sequor Law

    Sequor Law adds former GrayRobinson shareholders Leyza Florin and Fernando Menendez to its Miami-based bankruptcy litigation practice, enhancing cross-border insolvency expertise. Sequor Law Picks Up Two Bankruptcy Attorneys From GrayRobinson Open Firm News Open June 11, 2018 2 minutes read Sequor Law By Rick Archer Miami, Florida - June 4, 2018 Sequor Law has added two former GrayRobinson PA shareholders, including one of the founding members of that firm’s Miami office, to its own Miami-based bankruptcy litigation practice, the firm has announced. In a statement released June 4, Sequor Law said new partners Leyza B. Florin and Fernando Menendez Jr. have experience dealing with complex and cross-border bankruptcy cases, which would be a particular asset to the firm. “The firm not only gains two outstanding lawyers with years of experience in insolvency, restructuring, and commercial litigation, but their bilingual and multicultural heritage will add to the growth of our market leadership in international asset recovery and cross-border insolvency,” Sequor Law founding shareholder Ed Davis said in the statement. Seven years ago Florin, a graduate of the University of Miami School of Law, was one of the founding shareholders of GrayRobinson’s Miami office. The statement said Florin has a wide range of litigation experience with a special emphasis on complex business bankruptcy and commercial litigation matters. She has extensive international bankruptcy experience, including with the Chapter 15 proceedings for Barbados-based British American Insurance Co., where she served as U.S. counsel for the court-appointed representatives from 11 different jurisdictions. She is also a Florida Supreme Court Certified Civil Mediator. Menendez, a New York University School of Law graduate, also spent seven years with GrayRobinson after starting his career at White & Case LLP. Menendez has worked on a broad range of business reorganization and restructuring matters as well as complex and contested bankruptcy issues, the statement said. According to his biography on the firm’s website, one major case Menendez has handled was representing the holders of more than $30 million in secured debt in the contested Chapter 11 of the owner of a large Miami real estate parcel. Both attorneys credited what they called Sequor’s focus on international business as their reason for joining the firm. “I think we were both concerned about widening the breadth of our international practice,” Menendez said in a phone interview Monday. “They’re already in these markets. I think we have the opportunity to expand our relationships overseas.” In the statement, Florin said they had both worked with a number of Sequor’s attorneys for years and had “long admired” the firm. “They have significant depth in the cross-border area,” Florin said in the phone interview. “They have a really deep bench.” Miami-based Sequor represents financial institutions, governments, and public and non-public companies in commercial litigation, financial fraud cases, and bankruptcies in the U.S. and internationally, according to the statement.

  • Global Restructuring Review Top 100 Law Firms Listing| Sequor Law

    Global Restructuring Review profiles Sequor Law as a GRR 100 firm, highlighting its roots as a rebrand of Astigarraga Davis’s cross-border insolvency and asset recovery team led by Edward H. Davis, Jr. and Gregory Grossman, and its work for the Chilean liquidator of Onix Capital. Global Restructuring Review Top 100 Law Firms Listing Open Awards & Recognition Open July 31, 2017 2 minutes read Sequor Law Miami’s newly rebranded Sequor Law is the Chilean liquidator of bankrupt investment vehicle Onix Capital Global head of restructuring and insolvency Gregory Grossman History of the practice Shareholders Edward Davis and Gregory Grossman launched boutique Sequor Law in April, in what was effectively a rebrand of Miami firm Astigarraga Davis’ cross-border insolvency, international asset recovery and financial fraud team. Davis and Grossman, two of the founders of Astigarraga Davis, decided to establish the new outfit when their former firm’s international arbitration practice left to join global law firm Reed Smith. All of the attorneys from Astigarraga Davis’ cross-border insolvency, international asset recovery, and financial fraud practice were retained by Sequor Law. Network Grossman heads up the firm’s international insolvency and financial litigation practice, which operates out of a solitary office in Miami. Who uses it? The team represents international banks, sovereign governments and government institutions, liquidators and receivers, lenders and multinational corporations, as well as individuals. Some notable clients include Big Four professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Historic track record The practice, under Astigarraga Davis and Sequor Law, has made over 20 Chapter 15 filings in the US to recognise insolvency proceedings in diverse jurisdictions including Antigua, Austria, Barbados, Brazil, the BVI, the Cayman Islands, Chile, Mexico, Romania and the UK. Indeed, Grossman says the firm has filed more Chapter 15s than any other law firm in the US. Notably, Davis and Grossman filed the first Chapter 15 bankruptcy petition in the state of Florida, on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the custodian of failed financial institution Bancafe International Barbados. Davis also served as lead civil counsel for the government of Antigua and Barbuda in relation to an alleged fraud in the payment of debt owed to a Japanese leader that sponsored the building of the Crabbs Desalination and Power Plant in northeast Antigua. Elsewhere, the team was instructed to represent the joint liquidators of Stanford International Bank in efforts to recover assets relating to a US $7 billion Ponzi scheme- the second largest Ponzi scheme in world history, which has seen filings in Antigua, the UK, the US and Canada. Recent events During our research period, Sequor Law was instructed as counsel to the court-appointed liquidator and foreign representative of bankrupt Chilean investment firm Onix Capital in Chapter 15 proceedings in Florida. The liquidator is seeking to recover assets in excess of $100 million* relating to an alleged Ponzi scheme operated by the group’s CEO, Chilean businessman Alberto Chang-Rajii. The Sequor team also continues to act as primary US counsel to the joint liquidators of Stanford International Bank. The complete GRR 100 guide will be accessible at Global Restructuring Review website * The GRR 100 incorrectly values the Onix case as a $7.4 million dollar Ponzi scheme. The correct value of the Ponzi scheme is in excess of $100 million.

Tara’s practice includes obtaining recognition of foreign arbitral awards and judgments to facilitate asset recovery efforts. Her expertise extends to conducting post-judgment discovery and initiating discovery actions under 28 U.S.C. § 1782 to gather evidence for use in foreign proceedings, an area of law in which she has achieved precedent-setting results expanding the permissible uses of discovery obtained under the statute.

Also representing funders evaluating investments Complementary Resources Alternative Fee Arrangements & Litigation Funding Support Contingency, Hybrid, and Funded Solutions for Complex International Disputes Creative Fee Solutions and Funder-Market Expertise to Level the Playing Field Sequor Law understands that even strong claims can be difficult to pursue when clients face financial constraints or well-resourced adversaries. In appropriate matters, the firm offers alternative fee arrangements, including full contingency and hybrid structures, to help clients move forward without bearing the full cost of litigation at the outset.

The firm maintains close relationships with many of the world’s leading litigation funders and understands which funders are best aligned with a particular matter based on claim type, jurisdiction, pricing, expertise, and risk profile. Sequor Law also regularly represents litigation funders in evaluating potential investments, giving the firm unique insight into how funders assess value, risk, and recovery potential. That perspective helps the firm guide clients efficiently through the funding process and position matters for the best possible outcome.

Daniel has represented clients in commercial loan enforcement cases, including actions for foreclosure of commercial real property and replevin, and suits on notes and guaranties. Additionally, he represents lenders in the negotiation and documentation of workout agreements, loan restructuring, forbearance agreements and loan sale agreements. Daniel has also represented sellers of goods in Uniform Commercial Code Sales of Goods litigation and aggregate bodies of foreign creditors in United States Bankruptcy Proceedings, including obtaining foreign main recognition under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Represented client who was victim of trademark and copyright infringement in obtaining a non-dischargeable judgment liquidating the trademark and copyright claims against the debtor. Counsel of record for the defendant in Abel & Buchheim , P.R., Inc. v. Citibank, Nat’l Ass’n , 1:16-CV-24663-KMM, 2017 WL 3731002, (S.D. Fla. Aug. 28, 2017), in which the plaintiff sued the bank under a fact-pattern that the bank permitted the plaintiff’s former officer/director to transfer funds from the corporate account despite the existence of an injunction. The depositor sued the bank under theories of aiding and abetting as well as negligence. The Court dismissed the aiding and abetting counts because the factual assertions in this complaint did not allege that the bank had actual knowledge of the underlying torts or that the bank assisted the former officer/director’s tortious conduct by merely allowing her to withdraw funds from the accounts. The Court dismissed the negligence claim against the bank because plaintiff’s claims were not for the recovery of bodily injury or property damage and “there is no common-law duty of a defendant in negligence to protect a plaintiff from mere economic losses.” Daniel was named a SuperLawyer in 2022 and a “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2020 and was recognized by Florida Legal Elite in 2021 for Commercial Litigation.

He is also on the international committee for NAFER. Daniel co-authored an article with Gregory S.

Mar. 23, 2017), which is the first published decision nationwide that a foreign liquidator in a Chapter 15 adversary proceeding may assert US-state-law fraudulent transfer/fraudulent conveyance claims to claw back fraudulent transfers on behalf of the foreign debtor and/or its creditors. He was also counsel of record for the defendant in Gilbert & Caddy, P.A. v. JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. , 193 F. Supp. 3d 1294 (S.D. Fla. 2016), which is the first published decision in a Florida state or federal court that a bank, in the deposit agreement, may shorten the time-period for a depositor/customer to report an allegedly fraudulent electronic funds transfer.
