Sequor Law partner Tara J. Plochocki secured a 2018 ruling that U.S. citizens have a due process right to be heard before being targeted for lethal force. Judge Allows Journalist to Challenge Claimed Inclusion on U.S. Drone ‘Kill List’ Open In the News Open June 13, 2018 2 minutes read Sequor Law Bilal Abdul Kareem grew up in New York and built a career as a freelance journalist. By his account, that work took him into reporting territory in Syria where five U.S. airstrikes nearly killed him. He came to believe the explanation was not coincidence but a designation: that his own government had placed him on a list of people marked for death. On June 13, 2018, a federal judge agreed he deserved the chance to find out. In a 30-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Rosemary M. Collyer refused to throw out Kareem's lawsuit, holding that an American citizen cannot be targeted for lethal action without any opportunity to be heard. Collyer rejected the idea that the executive branch holds unilateral authority to mark a citizen for death beyond the reach of any court. Due process, she wrote, "is not merely an old and dusty procedural obligation" but "a living, breathing concept that protects U.S. persons from overreaching government action even, perhaps, on an occasion of war." The Washington Post reported the ruling here . The decision was a rare one. Courts have generally been reluctant to second-guess national security determinations, and a co-plaintiff in the case, former Al Jazeera bureau chief Ahmad Muaffaq Zaidan, saw his claims dismissed as too speculative because he was not a U.S. citizen. What set Kareem apart was precisely his citizenship. The court treated his constitutional right to due process, together with his First Amendment rights as a journalist, as a "birthright" that an unreviewed government list could not erase. Representing the plaintiffs was Tara J. Plochocki , today a partner at Sequor Law, where she leads the firm's Washington, D.C. office. Her work on the kill list lawsuit is one strand of a practice that runs through constitutional rights, international law, and national security. The same command of federal litigation — and of the appellate rules that govern what a court may and may not review — is what she now applies to cross-border asset recovery and complex financial fraud at Sequor Law. The subject matter is different now; the method is the same. Find the legal question that controls the outcome, then press it through a federal system that concedes nothing without a fight. Targeted killing cases are extraordinary, and few practitioners will ever litigate one. Yet the principle the ruling protected is ordinary and foundational. Before the government acts against a citizen irreversibly, the citizen has a right to be heard. Plochocki's record on that question informs the matters she handles today.

After a 2018 due process win, the government invoked the state secrets privilege to dismiss Tara J. Plochocki’s client’s targeted-killing challenge in 2019. U.S. Invokes State Secrets Privilege to Block American Journalist’s Challenge to Alleged Spot on Drone ‘Kill List’ Open In the News Open September 24, 2019 2 minutes read Sequor Law A U.S. citizen asked a simple question: was his own government trying to kill him? In September 2019, a federal court decided he was not entitled to an answer. The plaintiff was Bilal Abdul Kareem, an American journalist who said five near-miss airstrikes in Syria suggested he had been placed on a U.S. targeted-killing list. His case had already cleared a hurdle that few claims of its kind survive. In 2018, U.S. District Judge Rosemary M. Collyer had ruled that Kareem, as a citizen, could press a due-process challenge to his alleged inclusion on that list. That opening did not last. After settlement talks between Kareem's lawyers and the government collapsed, the government invoked the state secrets privilege, arguing that even confirming or denying his presence on any list would expose intelligence sources and methods and might help a target evade capture. Collyer agreed the government's authority to withhold that information was "absolute," and she dismissed the suit in a 14-page opinion. She named the tension directly, asking what constitutional right could be more essential than due process before the government takes a life, then concluding that federal courts hold only limited authority to resolve such questions, even when they touch constitutional rights. Tara J. Plochocki , today a partner at Sequor Law, represented Kareem and pushed the matter as far as the doctrine allowed. Her reaction drew the line plainly: "For the first time ever, a United States federal court ruled that the government may kill one of its citizens without providing him the information necessary to prove that he is being wrongly targeted." An early win recognized the right to be heard. The state-secrets dismissal then left that right unenforceable. Secrecy, in other words, can decide a case before a court ever reaches its merits. That collision between a citizen's claim and the executive's classification powers is the kind of problem Plochocki has built a career around, litigating where constitutional rights, international law, and national security meet. Her work at Sequor Law runs on the same instinct: securing evidence that adversaries would rather keep hidden, and pressing claims through federal courts and on appeal. Cross-border asset recovery and financial fraud both turn on prying loose concealed information. The Kareem case is a stark reminder of what is at stake when a court cannot compel its disclosure.

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. Sequor Law remains committed to this work because corruption undermines the rule of law, fosters impunity, and deprives citizens, including vulnerable populations, of essential services and basic human rights. Representative Representative Cases Representation of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago in Bid-Rigging and Corruption Case Sequor Law represents the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in related fraud and corruption proceedings in Florida, Liechtenstein, The Bahamas, Panama, and Switzerland. The matters involved coordination with governmental authorities, assistance with MLAT requests, and support for extradition proceedings. The work resulted in the freezing, recovery, and repatriation of more than US$5 million, settlements exceeding US$5 million, and savings of more than US$30 million through the invalidation of a fraudulent contract. 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. The civil case resulted in the freezing, recovery, and repatriation of stolen assets, the repatriation of US$12 million to the client, and the cancellation of a fraudulent contract that saved the government more than US$20 million in future expenditures. Kleptocracy Case for the Republic of Haiti Sequor Law participated as part of a global team in advising the Republic of Haiti on aspects of Asset Recovery against the Duvalier regime. Advice to the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala Sequor Law participated as part of a global team in advising CICIG in connection with corruption claims and other wrongdoing involving the former president and administration in Guatemala.

Enforcing creditor, lender, and judgment holder rights to payment domestically and internationally through litigation, liens, and enforcement Creditors' Rights Sequor Law regularly represents secured and unsecured creditors, from traditional and non-traditional lenders to Judgment holders, in enforcing their rights to payment in the United States and around the world. A Practice Built on the Full Breadth of Secured Collateral Enforcement Sequor Law handles every phase of debt enforcement. Working closely with in-house investigators, Sequor Law identifies assets, uncovers financial misconduct, and builds comprehensive enforcement strategies. The team leads pre-litigation strategies, including workouts, forbearances, and standstill agreements, and it regularly secures urgent pre-judgment remedies such as replevin, garnishment, attachment, injunctive relief, and freeze orders. Sequor Law enforces rights against both real and personal property. On the real estate side, the firm has prosecuted foreclosures involving apartment complexes, unfinished condominium towers, office buildings, gas stations, car washes, warehouse facilities, and retail properties. On the personal property side, the firm has enforced creditor rights against aircraft, helicopters, automotive fleets, floor-plan inventory, heavy machinery, accounts receivable, general intangibles, stock and membership interests, commercial tort claims, and intellectual property. Sequor Law also enforces Judgments, whether domesticated in the United States or obtained abroad. The firm’s work includes perfecting Judgment liens, identifying and collecting assets, overseeing levies and executions, and pursuing post-Judgment garnishments and attachments. Sequor Law is deeply experienced in litigating fraudulent transfer, successor liability, alter ego, and veil-piercing claims. In cross-border debt matters, Sequor Law frequently leads multi-jurisdictional enforcement efforts, coordinating strategy across common law and civil law jurisdictions to achieve effective and efficient recoveries. Advanced Recovery Strategies for Domestic & International Judgments Representative Representative Cases Representation of Peru in Kleptocracy Case Against Former Head of State Sequor Law represented the Government of Peru in litigation in Miami, Florida, where the plaintiff sought to attach the aircraft in which the President of Peru would travel to the United States. While asserting defenses under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, including insufficient service of process, lack of personal jurisdiction, and failure to state a claim, the firm also argued that Peru was immune from attachment and suit. The court held that the aircraft was “military hardware” and therefore not subject to attachment. Representation of Instrumentality of the French Government in Asset Recovery Matter Sequor Law represented Créances, S.A.S. (“CDR”), successor to Société de Banque Occidentale (“SDBO”) and an instrumentality of the Republic of France, in a matter involving a nearly US$100 million fraudulent loan transaction that led to the sale of the collateral land without repayment. Sequor Law helped develop the strategy that ultimately led to the recovery of millions of dollars in real estate. Open Gregory S.

Led by our founding partner, recognized by Chambers & Partners (Band 1, Asset Tracing & Recovery, Global-Wide). ICC FraudNet member. Pursuing and recovering assets worldwide Asset Recovery Sequor Law is recognized worldwide for its leadership in the practice area. We not only recover assets for victims of fraud and corruption, but also seek to hold aiders and abettors, conspirators, and facilitators liable through third-party actions. From Investigation to Repossession: A Full-Spectrum Recovery Practice Sequor Law is uniquely focused on pursuing and recovering client assets and value for the client at every phase of the dispute, from investigation and strategic case development through litigation, arbitration, pre-judgment remedies, and enforcement. Every day, we rise to meet the increasingly sophisticated methods used to conceal, transfer, or launder assets across jurisdictions. Sequor Law pioneered the concept of “value recovery,” advancing beyond the traditional model of Asset Recovery limited to freezing and recovering tangible assets. Our focus is not solely on the assets themselves, but on maximizing total recoverable value. This includes pursuing claims against aiders and abettors, conspirators, and facilitators through direct third-party actions. Drawing on extensive experience in complex Asset Recovery matters, the firm has successfully recovered value in a wide range of scenarios, including claims arising from contracts procured through fraud or corruption, the exercise of restitution rights in criminal proceedings, the reopening of matrimonial settlements, and the enforcement of Judgments previously considered uncollectible. Fraudsters and corrupt actors frequently employ layered corporate structures, offshore vehicles, and multi-jurisdictional transfers to obscure beneficial ownership and move assets rapidly beyond reach. Addressing these schemes requires technical sophistication, deep knowledge of multiple legal systems, and sustained strategic execution. Sequor Law brings all three. Our team operates seamlessly across common law and civil law jurisdictions, allowing us to act quickly and effectively in complex cross-border environments. The firm’s Asset Recovery practice is focused on penetrating the inner circle of the wrongdoer and dismantling the structures used to shield assets. We deploy a full suite of legal tools, including asset freeze orders, pre-judgment remedies, advanced evidence-gathering mechanisms, insolvency proceedings, and direct claims against both wrongdoers and third-party facilitators. Piercing Complex Structures to Reach the Wrongdoer's Inner Circle Recognized Global Leaders Who Shaped an Entire Practice Area Sequor Law’s attorneys were instrumental in developing Asset Recovery as a globally recognized legal practice and continue to lead its evolution as new technologies and increasingly complex schemes emerge. The firm is consistently ranked among the leading practices worldwide in Asset Tracing & Recovery by Chambers & Partners and the Lexology Index. Sequor Law has also been recognized as Asset Recovery Firm of the Year, reflecting its sustained leadership in the field. Founding Shareholder Edward H. Davis, Jr. has been consistently ranked Band 1 globally by Chambers & Partners for Asset Tracing & Recovery, including most recently in 2025. He was also named Asset Recovery Lawyer of the Year by Who’s Who Legal in multiple consecutive years, underscoring the firm’s leadership at the highest level of the practice. There is no one-size-fits-all solution in Asset Recovery. Each matter requires a tailored strategy based on the facts, the jurisdictions involved, and the client’s objectives. Sequor Law is committed to identifying that strategy and executing it with precision, persistence, and a relentless global focus on securing results. 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. Recognition and Enforcement of UK Worldwide Freezing Order Sequor Law represents Novoship (UK) Limited and affiliated entities in a Judgment domestication and enforcement matter in Florida. After Novoship obtained approximately US$98 million in Judgments from the English High Court of Justice against a Venezuelan national and his companies for fraudulent acts relating to charter party contracts, and after the debtors breached a US$40 million settlement, Sequor Law obtained recognition of the English freezing injunction in Florida within 24 hours. The firm froze assets, commenced discovery before full recognition of the English Judgments, and uncovered nearly US$3.5 million in local bank funds and approximately US$1.5 million in Florida real estate. Coordinated proceedings in Florida, Switzerland, and London resulted in payment of the full settlement amount. Judgment Enforcement Against Sovereign in Bond Default Case Since 2008, Sequor Law has represented two major creditors of the Republic of Argentina in pursuing collection of more than US$1 billion in Judgments in Florida arising from Argentina’s 2001 bond default. Working with New York counsel, the firm pursued collection from assets located in Florida, including assets at the Miami office of Banco de la Nación Argentina, a bank wholly owned by the Argentine government. Representation of a Class of More Than 2,000 Victims of Caribbean Fraud Sequor Law represented a class of 2,232 victims of the Leadenhall Bank & Trust and Cash-4-Titles fraud in the British Virgin Islands and The Bahamas and recovered US$14.4 million. After Leadenhall entered liquidation and was sued in the U.S. District Court in Miami, the class obtained a final money Judgment of US$313 million in September 2007. Enforcement of that Judgment resulted in the US$14.4 million recovery, with approximately US$7 million more to be distributed thereafter. Proceedings Supplementary in Aid of Judgment Enforcement Sequor Law represented Robert J. Lodge and Robert K. Orr against SunTrust Bank. After obtaining an order for proceedings supplementary in aid of execution and conducting extensive discovery and depositions, the matter concluded in a favorable settlement in which significant funds were recovered by the Judgment creditor’s successor-in-interest. Deployment of International Treaties and U.S. Legal Claims Sequor Law represented a multinational Colombian food products company in recovering substantial losses for products obtained through fraud and deception. By deploying international treaties and U.S. domestic claims, the firm identified the products, prosecuted the defendants in the United States, and achieved a successful settlement. Representation of Peru in Kleptocracy Case Against Former Head of State Sequor Law represented the Government of Peru in litigation in Miami, Florida, where the plaintiff sought to attach the aircraft in which the President of Peru would travel to the United States. While asserting defenses under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, including insufficient service of process, lack of personal jurisdiction, and failure to state a claim, the firm also argued that Peru was immune from attachment and suit. The court held that the aircraft was “military hardware” and therefore not subject to attachment. Representation of an Instrumentality of the French Government in Asset Recovery Matter Sequor Law represented Creances, S.A.S. (“CDR”), successor to Societe de Banque Occidentale (“SDBO”) and an instrumentality of the Republic of France, in a matter involving a nearly US$100 million fraudulent loan transaction that led to the sale of the collateral land without repayment. Sequor Law helped develop the strategy that ultimately led to the recovery of millions of dollars in real estate. Representation of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago in Bid-Rigging and Corruption Case Sequor Law represents the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in related fraud and corruption proceedings in Florida, Liechtenstein, The Bahamas, Panama, and Switzerland. The matters involved coordination with governmental authorities, assistance with MLAT requests, and support for extradition proceedings. The work resulted in the freezing, recovery, and repatriation of more than US$5 million, settlements exceeding US$5 million, and savings of more than US$30 million through the invalidation of a fraudulent contract. Representation of Caribbean Central Bank in Insurance Industry Fraud Sequor Law represented the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in designing the legal strategy for the recovery of assets for the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago in the CLICO insurance company corruption scandal. 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. The civil case resulted in the freezing, recovery, and repatriation of stolen assets, the repatriation of US$12 million to the client, and the cancellation of a fraudulent contract that saved the government more than US$20 million in future expenditures. Kleptocracy Case for the Republic of Haiti Sequor Law participated as part of a global team in advising the Republic of Haiti on aspects of Asset Recovery against the Duvalier regime. Advice to the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala Sequor Law participated as part of a global team in advising CICIG in connection with corruption claims and other wrongdoing involving the former president and administration in Guatemala. 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 Petroleo 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. Leading Appellate and Section 1782 Decisions Sequor Law prevailed before the Eleventh Circuit in Talal Qais Abdulmunem Al Zawawi v.

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.
