Get to know Sequor Law Partner Tara J. Plochocki, who shares her remarkable journey from the Peace Corps and Human Rights Watch to leading complex international asset recovery cases in Washington, D.C. Attorney Spotlight – Get to Know Tara J. Plochocki Open Attorney Spotlight Open April 8, 2025 5 minutes read Sequor Law 1. What inspired you to pursue a law career? I had been leaning towards being a lawyer since I was young, probably because of subtle brainwashing by my parents. In my early 20s, however, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to be based in the United States, so getting a U.S. law degree was not necessarily right for me. I had some incredible job opportunities after university—serving in the Peace Corps in Jordan after 9/11, teaching in the foothills of the Himalayas in a Tibetan refugee community and working and living with ex-political prisoners, and then helping Reed Brody at Human Rights Watch put together the case for genocide against Hissène Habre—that made fieldwork and advocacy seem really appealing. But one day, I was covering the lunch shift at a restaurant near the United Nations headquarters in New York—this is where my roommates and I worked to make ends meet—and I was serving a couple of gentlemen with U.N. credentials. I overheard them talking about an armed conflict that was going on at the time, in which one country was absolutely crushing the civilians of the other. To put it mildly, I did not agree with them, and I came away from my shift that day 100% certain that I did not ever want to be in a position where, in advocating for a cause, I had to rely solely on the good will of politicians. Solving a problem by getting an enforceable court order from a judge held much more appeal (Pun intended). I went to the University of Michigan Law School the next year. 2. Why did you choose the areas of law that you practice, especially within the vibrant legal landscape of Washington, D.C.? My practice involves cross-border commercial litigation and fraud disputes, judgment and arbitral award enforcement and asset recovery, and litigation on behalf of and against foreign sovereigns. The best thing about this practice is that we get to take money from people who should not have it and give it to the people who should: our clients. This practice also relates to my original passion for enforcing the rule of law globally. Our cases push U.S. courts to open their doors to non-U.S. litigants and give them access to justice; judgments and awards are only useful if you can manage to enforce them somewhere in the world. And when governments or officials abuse their privileges and then try to hide behind sovereign immunity, it is satisfying to hold them to account just like any other litigant. Our cases are also intellectually challenging—I’m never bored. Our typical client is a person or entity with significant financial losses arising out of a fraud or breach of fiduciary duty. The case might have connections to potential defendants and assets in a dozen jurisdictions, and the client may not have particularly great evidence to prove the wrong committed. Marshaling evidence and figuring out where to bring a case and against whom is incredibly fun, especially since I get to do it with my foreign lawyer counterparts globally. It is such a privilege to work with brilliant and delightful people from every time zone and hemisphere. As for why Washington, D.C.: it is a city for idealistic and tenacious nerds, and I am one of them. 3. What skills do you draw upon when it comes to your specific practice areas? Listening and having curiosity are important to my practice. Our clients and our foreign lawyer counterparts are very smart people with insights and expertise that are useful not only to the merits of the case, but the broader strategy against the defendants. I also tend to strongly identify with our clients, and one of the very best parts of my job is writing my client’s story in a comprehensive, compelling way, regardless of whether we are bringing a plenary action on the merits or doing a simple petition for evidence. An added benefit, of course, is that the side that tells the best story tends to win the case. 4. What is the most rewarding part about your job as the first attorney representing Sequor Law in Washington, D.C.? I am grateful daily that my Sequor colleagues had enough faith in me to let me be the first person to open an office outside of Miami. It took a lot of trust and courage—on their part and mine—to leave our comfort zones and take on this new challenge. We are all thrilled that it has worked out so well in our first year! Also, while I have been fortunate to practice with and learn from superlative lawyers my entire legal career, Ed Davis is a pioneer in the field of asset recovery law and it has been a privilege to absorb some of his expertise. 5. Tell us about a mentor who made an impact on your career. Mark Rosenbaum was the Legal Director of the ACLU of Southern California and a professor at my law school. I had a chance to intern for him and then to take his 14th Amendment class. For anyone who is not a U.S. Constitution aficionado, the 14th Amendment is the one that guarantees equal protection under the law (among other things). Mark taught us to “think about how the doctrine moves” and marched us through the lawyering decisions on which cases were brought when, with each new case building on the case before, inching closer and closer to real equality under the law. I think about “how the doctrine moves” every time I have a case with the potential to move the needle on an issue of importance to my practice. And lucky for me, Mark has reached out over the years for help with his own efforts to move constitutional law doctrines. 6. If you weren’t practicing law, what would you be doing? If I had to choose something unrelated to the law, then it would be a tie between writing fiction and rescuing stray dogs. Perhaps I could read my original works to rescue dogs? They generally don’t have discerning literary palates, so that could work well for me. 7. What might people be surprised to learn about you? I grew up in sunny Southern California. I seem way too serious to have come from there. 8. What is a good book or article you read recently? Jay Newman and Thomas Eymond-Laritaz published an article a few months ago in the Financial Times titled “ Sovereign investment dispute resolution is broken .” They rightly observe that enforcing judgments or arbitral awards against foreign sovereigns is astronomically expensive, and that lawyers must use both the law and creative diplomatic and economic solutions to best serve their creditor clients.

A Florida court grants Chapter 15 recognition to BVI liquidators of three 1MDB-linked funds. Sequor Law's Juan Mendoza represents the liquidators seeking US discovery to recover stolen assets. Liquidators of BVI Funds Linked to 1MDB Win Recognition in Florida Open In the News Open May 18, 2022 4 minutes read Sequor Law Ben Clarke 18 May, 2022 The joint liquidators of three 1MDB-linked British Virgin Islands funds have secured recognition of their appointments in Miami, pledging to obtain discovery in the US to help with their recovery efforts. In an oral ruling on 18 May, Judge Robert Mark in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida recognized the BVI liquidations of SRC International (Malaysia) (SRC BVI) and subsidiaries SRC Strategic Resources and Bright Oriande. The judge also granted a motion to jointly administer the proceedings. While Judge Mark agreed to recognize the liquidators’ appointments, he questioned the draft order provided – particularly a clause that would have blocked any party from bringing a claim against the joint liquidators in any US court without first obtaining leave of the bankruptcy court. Counsel to the liquidators, Sequor Law’s Juan Mendoza , said the clause was included to enforce the Barton doctrine, established by the Supreme Court to require any party wishing to bring a claim against a receiver to first obtain the leave of the court that appointed the receiver. He said the clause was actually “Barton-lite” because they were not requesting potential litigants gain approval from the BVI courts to launch an action against the joint liquidators in the US. The judge said he would take the clause out but would include it in an amended order if he is provided with the relevant authorities. He said he didn’t fault the purpose or intent of the clause, to prevent the potential harassment of the joint liquidators, but he considered it “pretty sweeping relief” that pre-empts unknown future events. Fraud scheme The rulings come after the joint liquidators, BVI-based Helen Janes of Hyperion Risk Solutions and Quantuma’s Angela Barkhouse in the Cayman Islands and Carl Jackson in the UK, filed Chapter 15 proceedings last month in an effort to recover some of the billions of dollars allegedly stolen from Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB. Various authorities around the world have been investigating 1MDB and an entity it established in Malaysia, SRC International (SRC Malaysia), for the last seven years over a huge fraud that saw about US$8.5 billion diverted from them to numerous entities and individuals. During the short recognition hearing, Mendoza highlighted some of the suspicious transactions the joint liquidators have identified involving the three debtor companies – including over US$1 billion of funds transferred from SRC Malaysia to SRC BVI bank accounts in Hong Kong and Switzerland, and about US$60 million transferred to SRC Strategic Resources. Mendoza noted SRC BVI invested almost US$250 million into three funds of segregated portfolio company Asia Momentum Fund, which only ended up with a balance of about US$17 million. He also highlighted about US$652 million of investments in two BVI companies between 2011 and 2014, which he said “basically evaporated” as a result of redemptions that left no trace. Janes said in court filings last month that most investigation attempts in Malaysia were thwarted by the Malaysian government because the country’s Prime Minister, Najib Razak, was the force behind the creation of 1MDB. But Najib was removed from office in 2018 and has faced criminal and civil proceedings with other co-conspirators in relation to the misappropriation of 1MDB funds. While the US Department of Justice has also investigated multiple parties, and last month secured a conviction against former Goldman Sachs banker Roger Ng for his role in the scandal, Janes said it has focused its efforts on 1MDB and not SRC Malaysia, the parent of the three BVI funds. The joint liquidators have issued proceedings against companies in multiple jurisdictions since they were appointed last Summer, but Janes said they suspect there are other entities related to the fraud that are yet to be uncovered. According to Janes, SRC BVI has been principally used by fraudsters throughout its existence to misappropriate funds, and Bright Oriande is believed to have been established solely to divert funds from 1MDB and SRC Malaysia. With recognition of their appointments, the joint liquidators intend to obtain discovery relating to transactions involving the debtors so they can take steps to potentially realize assets for creditors.

Sequor Law's Leyza B. Florin and Daniel Coyle analyze the emerging minority view on delivering subpoenas under FRCP Rule 45(b)(1) and its impact on cross-border asset recovery. Asset recovery column: emerging minority view on delivery of subpoenas under FRCP 45 Open Legal Insights Open March 25, 2020 5 minutes read Sequor Law Sequor Law shareholder Leyza B. Florin and attorney Daniel Coyle in Miami discuss the emerging trend in US federal and bankruptcy courts regarding service of subpoenas under rule 45(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). The language of rule 45(b) establishes the method for serving a subpoena upon the subpoena target. Previously, despite differences in the text between rule 45(b) and rule 4, governing service of original process, courts required subpoenas to be served on the subpoena target exclusively by hand delivery under the methods specified in rule 4. However, rule 45(b) jurisprudence is evolving to a more liberal standard that is both more in line with the text of rule 45(b) and more advantageous to the asset recovery practitioner, and client, seeking third-party discovery – especially from discovery targets in cross-border cases who maintain multiple residences or a more transient presence in the United States. Service of a subpoena versus service of process— what is the difference and why is there a difference? First and foremost, service of a subpoena under rule 45 is accomplished by “delivery”, and specifically, “delivering a copy [of the subpoena] to the named person”. Juxtapose this language with the text of rule 4, specifically subsections “e” and “f” specifying the method for service of process of natural persons, which is also applicable for service of process of artificial persons, in and outside of the US and it is clear that the standards are notably different. Noticeably absent from the text of rule 45 are the words “personally”; “hand” delivery; or “abode” service. References to rule 4, and state rules of service of process are also missing. Thus, based upon a plain meaning of the rules, the method of service of a subpoena is not the same as service of process. In the bankruptcy context, construing rule 45 to require personal service or even abode service of a subpoena leads to an even more bizarre result since, under rule 7004(b), service of process of an adversary proceeding may be validly accomplished by first class mail. The distinction between the method of service of a subpoena and service of process was crucial to Judge A. Jay Cristol’s reasoned opinion in the 2008 case of Falcon is not the only case to analyze the distinctions between rule 45(b) and rule (4), but it provides an insightful exposition of several cases from various courts as well as an insightful analysis of the language of both rules to explain why the method of accomplishing service under each rule is different. Judge Cristol analysed several judicial decisions from both inside and outside Florida, each of which determined that the service of a subpoena upon the recipient by a means other than personal service was valid. Moving to a statutory construction analysis, Judge Cristol determined that the term “delivering” was ambiguous and should be considered in the context of other parts of rule 45, “as well as other federal rules.” Judge Cristol stated that a reading of rule 45(b)(1) as requiring the subpoena to be personally served, would render the language of rule 45(b)(4) regarding the “manner of service”, and the language of rule 4(e)(2)(A) and 4(f)(2)(C)(i) requiring the process be delivered “personally”, as “superfluous” and “pure surplusage.” Construing rule 45(b) to require personal service would thus run afoul of the Surplusage Canon (). Dubbing this approach the “better-reasoned, modern, emerging minority position,” Judge Cristol applied it to the facts of the case before him. Other factors are also germane to determining that service is valid. The public policy underlying the service requirement is ensuring the receipt of the subpoena so that the subpoena target has notice of both the subpoena, and what is required/requested from the subpoena target. Thus, the purpose of the service requirement is actual receipt, which the courts accord significant weight to. Courts also focus on equitable considerations when determining validity, such as attempts by subpoena targets to subvert the purpose of the rules by hyper-technically construing them as an artifice to evade service. For instance, in the 2000 case of , the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York found rule 45 allows for service of a subpoena by certified mail on a deponent who rebuffed attempts at personal service and whose doorman restricted a process server’s access to a deponent’s apartment. What is “delivery” and what constitutes “delivery” under the emerging minority position? Delivery under this approach was defined in as serving the subpoena in a manner that reasonably insures actual receipt of the subpoena by the witness. Some courts, adopting the emerging minority position, have fleshed out this standard by providing that service may be accomplished by mailing the subpoena to the subpoena target’s known address in the US or abroad. Other courts have established that sending the subpoena by common carrier is sufficient. In the case, the court determined that substitute service on another member of the household constitutes valid service, even though the subpoena target did not reside at the address where the subpoena was delivered. At least one court has ruled that delivering the subpoena to the subpoena target’s agent is sufficient, and other courts have upheld service on domestic workers. Indeed, in a recent ruling in the case of in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida, Judge Robert Mark held that service of the subpoena by delivering it to a non-resident domestic worker at the address where the subpoena target’s family lived was sufficient. The emerging minority position should continue to gain adherents and traction The so-called emerging minority position is consistent with the text of rule 45(b) and consistent with the canons of statutory construction. It is also consistent with the policy aims of the service rule: ensuring actual receipt. The emerging minority position also establishes a more liberal standard that serves another laudable public policy goal: easing the discovery of information that will increase the likelihood of recovering assets while simultaneously discouraging the corruption of the rules of civil procedure by swindlers as a ruse to avoid valid service and valid discovery. The advantage of this more liberal standard for the asset-recovery attorney seeking discovery from discovery-targets in cross-border cases is clear. A lower threshold for effecting service eases the burden of attempting to serve discovery-targets who maintain a presence both inside and outside of the United States and lowers the likelihood of having to pursue discovery in foreign jurisdictions under the slow and cumbersome procedures of the Hague Convention or through a letter rogatory in a non-member state.

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.
