Led by two Chambers & Partners Band 1-ranked partners in Bankruptcy Litigation. Filed Florida's first Chapter 15. More Chapter 15 cases than any other firm. GRR 100 Bankruptcy & Insolvency Sequor Law represents clients in most aspects of bankruptcy and insolvency law both domestically and with insolvencies based outside the United States. The firm leverages unparalleled experience in connection with Chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy Code. Global Authority in Cross-Border Insolvency & Chapter 15 Practice Sequor Law provides comprehensive representation in all major aspects of bankruptcy and insolvency law, both in domestic and cross-border matters. In cross-border matters, the firm represents foreign-appointed fiduciaries responsible for the restructuring or liquidation of companies and individuals abroad. Sequor Law regularly appears in courts throughout the United States on behalf of foreign representatives. Having filed more Chapter 15 cases than any other firm , including the first Chapter 15 case ever filed in Florida, Sequor Law is consistently recognized as a leader in international insolvency and cross-border restructuring. Our attorneys frequently present at major conferences across North America, Latin America, Europe, and beyond on insolvency, Asset Recovery, and multi-jurisdictional enforcement. Sequor Law has been counsel in a substantial number of the Southern District of Florida’s reported Chapter 15 decisions, reinforcing its standing as one of the most experienced firms in cross-border insolvency nationwide. In In re Zawawi, the Eleventh Circuit held that 11 U.S.C. § 109 does not apply to Chapter 15, confirming that recognition is available even when a foreign debtor lacks residence, domicile, a place of business, or property in the United States. That decision is particularly significant because it ensures foreign representatives may obtain recognition and access essential discovery and enforcement tools without first establishing a U.S. nexus. The firm has handled Chapter 15 matters arising from jurisdictions including Antigua, Barbados, the British Virgin Islands, Canada, the Cayman Islands, the United Kingdom, Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Romania. Sequor Law has also served as lead counsel in recognition proceedings filed in foreign courts, including Australia, Colombia, the Isle of Man, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Precedent-Setting Litigation Shaping Cross-Border Insolvency Law In U.S. bankruptcy cases, Sequor Law represents creditors and other parties in interest across all phases of the proceeding. The firm regularly advocates for lenders in contested matters involving: Cash collateral disputes Valuation issues Motions for relief from the automatic stay and related defenses Plan treatment and confirmation challenges Competing reorganization plan proposals Sequor Law also defends clients in avoidance actions and represents creditors pursuing objections to dischargeability. Strategic Advocacy For Creditors In U.S. Bankruptcy Proceedings Representative Representative Cases One of the Largest Ponzi Schemes in History Sequor Law represents the Joint Liquidators for Stanford International Bank, Ltd. (“SIB”) (in Liquidation). SIB, a bank located in Antigua that primarily sold certificates of deposit, played a central role in a worldwide Ponzi scheme, the second largest in history, perpetrated by Robert Allen Stanford, with losses to depositors estimated to exceed US$4.4 billion. Since May 12, 2011, when Marcus Wide and Hugh Dickson of Grant Thornton were appointed Joint Liquidators of the SIB estate in Antigua, Sequor Law has acted as co-general counsel with Caribbean counsel in global Asset Recovery efforts that have included recovering US$3.2 million from Panama, US$20 million from the United Kingdom, freezing assets in Antigua & Barbuda valued at US$212 million, launching a formal claims process, pursuing claims related to approximately US$330 million in frozen assets in Canada, Switzerland, and the U.K., filing damages claims valued at approximately US$5 billion against a Canadian bank, and initiating recovery efforts in Colombia against law firms and financial institutions. Sequor Law also initiated a Chapter 15 recognition proceeding in Dallas, Texas, and later helped the U.S. Judicial Administrator, the SEC, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Joint Liquidators, and others reach a global agreement and cross-border protocol. First Chapter 15 Cross-Border Insolvency Case in Florida Involving Central American Banking Group Sequor Law represents Bancafe International Bank (in Liquidation) (“BIB”). After the failure of Banco Cafeteros de Guatemala, BIB, a Barbados entity with extensive operations in Guatemala and assets in the United States, entered bankruptcy in Barbados. Acting for the custodian, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Sequor Law filed the first Chapter 15 case in Florida and obtained recognition of the Barbados liquidation as the main foreign proceeding. The matter has included extensive discovery in the United States and recoveries that include more than US$54 million from a REFCO bankruptcy claim and approximately US$1 million from a New York account. Chapter 15 Case Stemming from One of the Largest Banking Failures in Brazilian History Sequor Law represents the judicial administrator of Banco Santos, S.A. (in Liquidation). After an investigation revealed a theft of more than US$1 billion through a multi-country scheme, Sequor Law initiated a Chapter 15 proceeding. The corresponding recognition helped secure valuable evidence in the United States and elsewhere and supported the recovery of artwork valued in the millions, along with additional multi-million-dollar recoveries through a confidential ancillary settlement. Brazilian Cross-Border Insolvency Case with More than 300 Related Debtors Sequor Law represents Petroforte Brasileiro de Petróleo Ltda. (“Petroforte”) (in Liquidation). After Petroforte entered insolvency proceedings in Brazil and the bankruptcy was extended to more than 300 entities and individuals, Sequor Law obtained deposition testimony and documentary evidence in the United States and pursued analogous proceedings in the Caribbean and Central America. The evidence supported the Judicial Administrator’s efforts in Brazil and may support additional recovery litigation, including through Chapter 15. Open Gregory S.

An examination of how US companies, including law firms, have responded to diversity and inclusion calls following the George Floyd death and growing social justice movement. How US Companies Have Responded to Calls for Equality, Inclusion and How Law Firms Can Follow Suit Open In the News Open July 21, 2021 6 minutes read Sequor Law Many of our country’s largest industries have made significant changes as a result of this increased awareness and outspokenness in regard to the systemic issues that underlie the failures in diversity at the leadership levels. By Harsh Arora | July 21, 2021 With the recent anniversary of the death of George Floyd and the conclusion of the trial and sentencing of Derek Chauvin that has dominated the national conversation, it is clear that the calls for racial equity and equality that have defined the past year will continue into the foreseeable future. Many of our country’s largest industries have made significant changes as a result of this increased awareness and outspokenness in regard to the systemic issues that underlie the failures in diversity at the leadership levels. Such organizations have responded by committing to both long-term and immediate initiatives in order to rectify their own institutional biases. While the lack of representation at the leadership and executive levels of our country’s largest and most recognizable companies is far from a novel issue, many companies have recently committed to diversity and inclusion efforts that have the potential to create real and lasting change due in large part to the increased pressure from shareholders and customers. Notably, these efforts go beyond previously broad responses; and instead, range from creating funds and investing in initiatives designed to expand opportunities and promote equality to disclosing previously private race, gender and ethnicity workforce data. It consequently has had a dual effect of helping identify underrepresented groups as well holding the reporting companies accountable. Although these investments and increased transparency are significant steps, it is also important to point out that diversity at the executive level at our nation’s largest companies still presents a significant challenge. For example, only about 10% of directors at the 200 biggest S&P 500 companies are Black and the percentage of Black executives joining boards has recently stagnated. There are many reasons for this lack of representation as there are systemic issues in relation to hiring practices and pools of candidates. While the investment initiatives in which many companies are engaging will increase the number of diverse applicants and help create more opportunities, many companies and their outside institutions are also taking more immediate steps in order to increase diversity. For example, since September 2020, at least 75 organizations have taken part in or have supported the Board Challenge to add a Black director within the next year and foster continued diversity efforts. Moreover, the NASDAQ recently filed a proposal with the SEC requiring any company with fewer than two diverse directors, including persons who self-identify as either an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ+, to provide a reasonable explanation as to why or risk being delisted. Even governments are getting involved as the State of California recently passed a law requiring publicly traded corporations headquartered in California to appoint directors from underrepresented communities to their boards. Despite the pendency of the NASDAQ proposal and likelihood of challenge to the California diversity law, these initiatives represent how organizations are responding to the consumer push for immediate and recognizable results. Accordingly, based on a report by BoardProspects, Black board members accounted for 18.5% of all new board appointments to Russell 3000 companies following George Floyd’s death. Moreover, 62% of all Black director appointments between 2019 and 2020 occurred after he died. As corporations and their related institutions pledge to do their part to promote diversity and racial equity, many companies and organizations have pressured the law firms that represent them to respond in kind. In general, the legal profession is often perceived as lagging behind other professions and industries in the area of diversity, particularly in leadership positions. This perception is backed by the most recent report from the National Association for Law Placement (NALP) which shows that while persons of color make up 25% of law firm associates, they make up less than 10% of partners. NALP described the progress toward diversity at law firms as steady and incremental but “so slow as to almost seem imperceptible.” Accordingly, more and more business owners and corporate executives are starting to notice that the lawyers and law firms hired to represent their interests do not resemble them demographically. This discrepancy, combined with the renewed commitment to addressing diversity issues, has led to increased and more comprehensive diversity requests from clients inquiring about how specifically law firms are supporting diverse attorneys. In response to these demands and client pressure, law firms have similarly spent the past year creating and investing in initiatives in order to confront their diversity issues. These initiatives include considering diversity and inclusion-related work as billable hours that will count toward bonus thresholds, creating mentorship programs for new associates in order to help increase retention and internal promotion, and more generally, expanding and improving recruiting efforts to reach more diverse candidates. In addition to the foregoing initiatives(much like the corporations they represent) law firms are being pushed by their clients for immediate actions and results. Accordingly, over 100 law firms have signed on to seek certification under the Mansfield Rule, which is overseen by the legal diversity organization, Diversity Lab and requires the consideration of at least 30% women, lawyers of color, LGBTQ+ lawyers, and lawyers with disabilities for leadership and governance roles, equity partner promotions, formal client pitch opportunities, and senior lateral positions. While this general push by the legal community is encouraging, many corporate lawyers and outside counsel are held to even a higher standard due to the polices of the companies they represent. This higher standard includes requiring law firms to implement policies and hire associates at rates that are tied to national census data. The most publicized proponent of this effort has been Coca-Cola, which earlier this year announced a policy requiring at least 30% of billed associate and partner time be from diverse attorneys; and stated that if firms fail to meet diversity requirements for two consecutive quarters, that it will cut 30% from the firm’s fees for new matters and possibly lead to losing Coca-Cola as a client. Since the announcement of this policy; however, its status has come into question as GC, Bradley Gayton who spearheaded the initiative, has recently stepped down and his replacement, Monica Howard Douglas, has reportedly told the legal team the policy had been paused. While this change disrupts the momentum that was created when Coca-Cola’s diversity policy was first announced, it has not stopped the overall corporate pressures on law firms to meet diversity criteria as just recently Nokia launched an equality, inclusion and diversity scorecard program to assess whether their key law firms are implementing an effective equality, inclusion and diversity strategy. While Nokia’s policy and others like it are not as forceful as the in-flux CocaCola policy, they represent how companies are holding their law firms accountable and mandating actual improvement in the areas of diversity and equality. Despite the foregoing, it is completely justifiable to be skeptical over the effectiveness of scorecards and surveys without the inclusion of concrete milestones and penalties; especially considering that this is not the first time corporations and general counsels have put pressure on law firms to increase diversity and inclusion efforts. In 2019, general counsels from more than 170 organizations similarly called on law firms to increase diversity and signed a letter that threatened to move on from outside counsel that do not try to hire and retain female and nonwhite attorneys. With diversity numbers at law firms in 2020 increasing slightly, but ultimately failing to signify significant improvement, the extent to which the GCs that signed the 2019 letter followed-up on their diversity demands is largely unknown. The difference between 2019 and the current movement and why the apparent demise of Coca-Cola’s forceful diversity policy is not a troublesome indicator; however; is that companies are still being pressured by consumers to have diversity metrics and executive suites that match the make-up of our country. As such, it is no longer acceptable for law firms to hold themselves accountable, as after a year of racial reckoning, clients and customers have now assumed that responsibility. This shift in accountability is already being felt in the legal community as the institutions that surround the legal industry are putting mechanisms in place to foster positive change. This is especially evident in Florida, with the diverse leadership within the Florida Bar business law section (BLS) and the recent initiatives of BLS. For the first time in its history, the BLS will have consecutive female chairs as Kacy Donlon was recently named chair-elect, following the current chair, Leyza B. Florin (the first Hispanic chair of BLS). As one of its initiatives, BLS set forth a new policy requiring a minimum number of diverse faculty at section sponsored continuing legal education programs. While the Florida Supreme Court ruled against this policy in April, it is yet another example of how the legal landscape, especially in connection with business law and corporate lawyers, is ready to be changed.

Meet Sequor Law Attorney Maria Jose Cortesi, who shares her journey into international litigation and asset recovery, her creative approach to complex cases, and her passion for the law. Attorney Spotlight: Maria Jose Cortesi Open Attorney Spotlight Open February 8, 2024 2 minutes read Sequor Law What inspired you to pursue a law career? I’ve been an avid reader my entire life, and I also like to think that I am creative. For me, a legal career just made sense, since a lot of what we do as lawyers is craft creative solutions for our clients, both based on prior precedent, or where relevant, by advocating for a change in the legal landscape. I liked the structure that laws bring to society, and I knew I would be challenged intellectually in my day-to-day. Why did you choose the areas of law that you practice? I was drawn to my areas of practice because of the complexity and novelty of the issues we encounter. No two cases are the same, and that results in exposure to different jurisdictions, legal systems and people that allow me to learn new things every day. What skills do you draw upon when it comes to your specific practice areas? The first that come to mind are critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. We are often navigating uncharted waters, and that requires out-of-the box thinking to figure out how to address the issues we are presented. Communication is also a skill that I use every single day—we regularly work with lawyers in different jurisdictions as part of a robust cross-border legal team to handle matters, and coordinating efforts to achieve the best results is critical. What is the most rewarding part about your job? I think the most rewarding part of my job is knowing I am solving a problem for someone who may have thought the problem was insurmountable. It is also extremely rewarding, professionally, to be part of a team that is constantly at the forefront of legal developments, and to get to work and learn from attorneys who are the best in their fields. Tell us about a mentor who made an impact on your career. Before and during law school, I worked for an estate planning and probate lawyer, Tania. As her legal assistant, I worked closely with her and she taught me to take pride in my work product, even when I doubted myself sometimes. I took that into my time in law school, and now as an attorney. If you weren’t practicing law, what would you be doing? If I was not practicing law, I would be running an event planning company. I love putting together and hosting events where my guests enjoy themselves and walk away with good memories that they remember fondly. What might people be surprised to learn about you? I think it may surprise people that I have read the Harry Potter series in its entirety 4 times! There’s something so wonderful about being lost in a book, and Harry Potter will always have a spot in my heart for being the first series to do that for me. What is a good book or article you read recently? I recently read Atomic Habits by James Clear, which really has helped me shift my mindset about doing things that may seem “insignificant” or “not a big deal” and be more conscious about my actions.

The Eleventh Circuit rules that § 109 eligibility requirements don't apply to Chapter 15 debtors, enabling US recognition of foreign insolvency proceedings regardless of US ties. Win for Sequor Law. 11th Circuit Appeal News Open Case Results Open April 4, 2024 1 minute read Sequor Law NEWS ALERT : Is a foreign debtor in a Chapter 15 case subject to the eligibility requirements for a debtor under 11 U.S.C. § 109? In an important decision, the Eleventh Circuit held that those eligibility requirements—requiring a person to reside, or have a domicile, a place of business, or property in the United States to be a debtor—do not apply to a debtor in a Chapter 15 case. This ruling is of particular importance in the field of cross border insolvency as it permits the recognition of foreign insolvency proceedings in the United States irrespective of the foreign debtor’s ties with the United States. In asset recovery cases, recognition unlocks valuable tools to trace and recover assets, which tools remain available to foreign insolvency practitioners under this decision.

Recovering ill-gotten gains through international asset freezes, whistleblower cooperation, and coordinated enforcement. ICC and IBA leadership. Corruption & Proceeds of Crime Recovery Sequor Law is on the front lines of the fight to deprive corrupt actors of their ill-gotten gains. Our leadership in anti-corruption work extends from the International Chamber of Commerce’s FraudNet to the International Bar Association. A Global Practice Spanning Civil, Criminal, and Regulatory Dimensions In matters involving overlapping civil, criminal, and regulatory issues, Sequor Law prosecutes cases across the full litigation cycle, from working with whistleblowers to coordinating sensitive investigations involving politically exposed persons and former public officials. The firm is a global thought leader in obtaining comity-based recognition and enforcement of foreign freeze orders and other injunctions, while prosecuting cases in U.S. courts and supervising related matters pending abroad. Sequor Law represents sovereigns and state-owned enterprises in pursuing individuals and businesses that profited from corrupt conduct, including bid-rigging and other cartel behavior. Our anti-corruption team focuses on disrupting the wrongdoer’s inner circle through asset freeze orders, pre-judgment remedies, strategic evidence-gathering, insolvency tools, and direct claims against wrongdoers and third-party facilitators. The firm also advises on corruption-related MLAT requests and restitution arrangements. Sequor Law has helped shape the law through the use of pre-suit tools such as 28 U.S.C. § 1782 and through the strategic deployment of insolvency procedures as a powerful recovery mechanism in corruption matters. From Asset Freezes to MLAT Requests: A Full Enforcement Arsenal Shaping International Anti-Corruption Policy — and the Mission Behind It Sequor Law’s professionals regularly present at leading anti-corruption forums, including Transparency International and the OECD. The firm has collaborated with the World Bank and the Basel Institute on anti-corruption research and best-practice guides and has co-chaired the annual FIU College of Law Anti-Corruption Conference.

Corruption-Related Asset Recovery on Behalf of Antigua and Barbuda Sequor Law represented the Government of Antigua and Barbuda in a corruption matter spanning Florida, Bermuda, Hong Kong, Switzerland, the Isle of Man, and Cayman.

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.
