Attorney Spotlight: Sequor Law's Juan Mendoza shares his journey into law, his passion for problem-solving, and his work in cross-border insolvency and asset recovery at the firm. Attorney Spotlight: Juan Mendoza Open Attorney Spotlight Open July 30, 2021 3 minutes read Sequor Law Our Sequor Law attorneys are some of the best in the industry. That’s why we’ve created the Attorney Spotlight, a monthly series that gives you a glimpse into the lives of our attorneys and their unique insights. To kick off our series, we interviewed Juan Mendoza . What inspired you to study law? It was really a collection of moments that inspired me to pursue law. When I was younger, I was very indecisive about what I wanted to do. I studied economics and finance during college because I enjoyed business and I liked to understand how things worked. I was even interested in pursuing engineering at one point, but it wasn’t until I took a law class that I started to develop an interest. At the time, I was part of the Honors College at Arizona State University, and they allowed me to take graduate coursework such as health law and the philosophy of law. I fell in love with the problem-solving aspect, the fact that it was intellectually fulfilling, and that I was able to help people in the process. For me, trying different things was the key to helping me discover what was the best fit for my personality. What practice areas do you focus on? I focus on domestic and cross-border bankruptcy and commercial litigation. Typically, these are cases involving fraud allegations. What is most exciting to you about being a lawyer in this day and age? In this day and age, everything is so expeditious. With phone and email, everyone expects you to answer quickly, and during the COVID-era, the legal industry has learned to adapt. Many judges are now holding remote hearings and actually prefer it to in-person hearings. Clients also understand that zoom is king, so most of them want to have meetings over video. This has opened up opportunities to network and interact with professionals and potential clients, no matter where we live. In the case of cross-border insolvencies, I’ve also seen exciting developments in the interconnectivity of businesses and the legal framework. Due to the model law, we now have a mechanism that recognizes cross-border insolvency cases. I’ve also noticed that many other countries have implemented similar frameworks that allow them to recognize and assist U.S. bankruptcy cases in foreign jurisdictions. This will lead to more coordination, cooperation, and helps us know what to expect. What advice would you give to young attorneys? Always be a sponge. Whenever you have an assignment, learn as much as you can about the subject. Early on in your career, you have the luxury to be very thorough. Once you become more senior, people will expect you to know the answers off the top of your head and you won’t have the opportunity to research, so it is important to take advantage of this time. Find some mentors, both at your firm and outside your firm. Look for someone you can bounce ideas off of, ask questions, and get career guidance. But remember this goes both ways, so it is important to cultivate and nurture those relationships. Get involved. Find an organization or two that you want to be involved in and be active. Don’t just go to the meetings – partake in projects, get into leadership, and meet other members. This is especially helpful as a young attorney because you have the opportunity to build your network and learn from other attorneys.

The Southern District of Florida bankruptcy court adopted the Judicial Insolvency Network’s guidelines to foster court-to-court communication and cooperation in cross-border insolvency cases, a move welcomed by Sequor Law’s Gregory Grossman. Florida Bankruptcy Court Adopts JIN Guidelines Open In the News Open February 5, 2018 2 minutes read Sequor Law By Dominic Lawson The Chief Bankruptcy Judge for the Southern District of Florida has ordered the adoption of the Judicial Insolvency Network’s (JIN) Guidelines on court-to-court communication and cooperation – making Florida the third US state to sign up to them. Judge Laurel Myerson Isicoff made the administrative order on 1 February. Effective immediately, the order adopts 14 guidelines on communication and cooperation between courts in cross-border insolvency matters drafted by the JIN , a group of international judges who met for the first time in Singapore in October 2016. The guidelines are designed to improve coordination and cooperation between courts presiding over international insolvency cases in a bid to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. Gregory Grossman , a founding shareholder at Miami-based firm Sequor Law, which has filed more than two dozen Chapter 15 cases, tells GRR that the Southern District of Florida has the third most Chapter 15 filings in the United States, which “makes sense given Miami’s status as a gateway to Latin America and its significant ties to the Caribbean.” “These guidelines should foster the continued cooperation between US Bankruptcy Courts and the insolvency courts of the rest of the world by adding a framework for even more direct communications,” Grossman says, adding that his firm welcomes their adoption. The guidelines allow courts to communicate directly with each other and to give notice of proceedings to parties in other jurisdictions. They also state that courts should encourage cooperation between administrators of parallel proceedings on all aspects of a case. The JIN Guidelines received the “most important overall development” award at the GRR Charity Awards in June. On 1 February 2017, Singapore and the District of Delaware became the first jurisdictions to adopt the JIN guidelines. The Southern District of New York adopted the guidelines on 17 February and was followed by Bermuda in March. England and Wales adopted the guidelines in May , as did the BVI. New South Wales followed suit in September .

Sequor Law Counsel Christopher A. Noel discusses asset recovery, art fraud, financial crime, and his practice in international commercial litigation in this attorney spotlight interview. ATTORNEY SPOTLIGHT: Christopher A. Noel Open Attorney Spotlight Open May 23, 2022 5 minutes read Sequor Law Sequor Law Counsel, Christopher A. Noel , shared his insights on Art Fraud in the legal industry on this month’s Attorney Spotlight. Asset recovery, corruption and proceeds of crime recovery, financial fraud, and international commercial litigation and appeals. My practice involves representing clients ranging from sovereign governments and multinational corporations to court-appointed fiduciaries and private clients. The role of an asset recovery lawyer is to be a member of a multi-faceted team focused on a core objective: recovering value for the client. Often, asset recovery counsel assembles teams of investigators and forensic experts to more fully understand the circumstances that gave rise to the dispute, and asset recovery counsel serves as a hub for all of the professionals working to advance the client’s objectives. Art fraud takes many forms – it can be based on a forged or otherwise inauthentic artwork, or as we see more commonly, it can be financial fraud perpetrated through abuse of the otherwise very private art market. As the global art market grows, and new consumers are brought into the market, the risk of art fraud increases. Without disclosing privileged details, I have had an opportunity to work with our team at Sequor on a variety of interesting matters. The assets have ranged from NFTs and blue-chip artworks to monies held by state sponsors of terrorism and kleptocrats. Our work is truly global. Since joining Sequor, I have worked on matters touching North America, South America, the Caribbean, the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Motivation for fraud, and crime in general, is usually a case-specific matter. However, two key factors impacting fraud in the art market are: (a) the relatively high level of privacy afforded in fine art and luxury goods sales (private dealers and auction houses typically dislike disclosure of client and sale information); and (b) the relative ease of transporting art and other luxury goods across borders without declaration to customs officials. Because transactions are often conducted in private and the goods are easily transported, art fraud is a growing market for fraudsters around the world. Art fraud has a direct impact on all consumers of art. When specific artworks are involved in litigation (because of fraud or otherwise), they are often stored pending resolution of the proceedings. This means that the art-consuming public will likely not have the opportunity to view the artwork until the dispute resolves. Additionally, fraud in any market increases transaction costs – leading to increased consumer costs either at galleries, art fairs or even when visiting museums. Asset recovery is a critical aspect of the law. The field of asset recovery covers a broad range of legal efforts, but it focuses on returning value to the client, who otherwise may not recover. A money judgment has limited value, but the post-judgment recovery is where a victim of fraud actually becomes close to whole again. As with any other type of financial fraud, there are market conditions that lend themselves to increases in fraudulent activity. The most clear example of this is whenever there is a spike in fine art sales, which may lead to increased art fraud within the market. Otherwise, spikes may also arise when dealing with inauthentic works, whereby a forger releases a tranche of works at once, often purporting that they came from a single previously-unknown collector. Art fraud follows the same form as many other frauds that Sequor sees on a daily basis. The team at Sequor, however, is specially suited to handle art fraud cases because of our extensive history of successfully recovering artworks in fraud cases, as well as our relationships with the international art industry. Art fraud, as is the case with most fraud matters, is a deeply personal wrong against a person or entity. Behind the scenes, Sequor acts as counselor and advisor to clients who are, in many instances, experiencing fraud firsthand for the first time. Sequor’s ability to match world-class legal practice with a hands-on and compassionate client relationship sets us apart in the market. International asset recovery and fraud litigation is an extremely interesting and dynamic field. Anyone interested in going into this area of the law should make best efforts to both master their understanding of the US legal system while also gathering an understanding of international legal systems and politics. It is truly a rare occasion where one of our cases does not involve facts and claims in multiple countries on multiple continents. Persistence and professionalism. Persistence is key because a common defense strategy is to lay in wait for the prosecuting attorney to make the first move. Without persistence, our clients may not recover the value they lost, or they may unnecessarily wait for a recovery, thereby allowing their opponent time to hide or shield assets subject to recovery. Professionalism is also a key aspect of our practice. Dealing with professionals and clients around the world requires a highly professional and adaptive demeanor. Additionally, professionalism is an aspect of the legal practice that is often the first thing lost in stressful and tense situations. The adage that one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar is a good rule to practice by. I studied law for two reasons. First, I appreciate the logic that the law provides. Decisions in the common law system are largely based on prior precedent that builds upon past cases and creates a body of law from which lawyers can pull based on the individual facts of each case. Additionally, the feeling of helping victims is second to none. Sequor prides itself on only representing those who have lost out at the hands of others’ wrongdoing. It is a great feeling to go to sleep at night knowing that I am trying to do good every day. The most significant aspect of being a lawyer today is the fast-evolving nature of our practice. During the COVID-19 pandemic, courts and law firms were required to quickly adjust to a remote world or else they faced dire outcomes for pending and new cases. While the law is typically a slow-to-evolve profession, the past few years have finally launched the practice into the new millennium. These advances in technology also assist practice in general – Zoom has made it easier to communicate with clients and colleagues around the world, and advances in artificial intelligence have made analyzing huge sets of data more efficient both in terms of time and cost. I look forward to seeing how technology further impacts the practice in the coming years as everyone re-adjusts to a (hopefully) post-COVID world. There are three pieces of advice that I would give younger attorneys today. First, make sure that you are a master of procedure if you are a litigator. The party who better knows the rules of procedure is at an extreme advantage over his adversary. Second, strive to get as much hands-on experience as possible. Seek out opportunities to shadow more senior lawyers, volunteer to take depositions and argue at motion calendar, and if possible, work on a trial as early as possible. Finally, explore the various areas of practice. It is uncommon now for a lawyer to remain in one area of practice for their entire career – if you do not feel rewarded in one practice, explore others until you find something that excites you every day. Sequor is unlike any law firm I’ve ever worked with. Our team is like a family and our boutique size allows us to cross-collaborate on many matters, leading to more creative and well-rounded solutions for our clients. Sequor also focuses on attorney development to a degree that I am unaware of at any other firm. Young attorneys are encouraged to follow their passions within the firm’s general practice areas, and they are encouraged to write, speak, and network in ways that meaningfully grow a young attorney’s practice at an accelerated yet manageable rate.

Sequor Law Partner Daniel Coyle secures a significant courtroom win for DISH Network in a bankruptcy case involving copyright infringement through illegal Arabic TV streaming "black boxes." Sequor Law bankruptcy courtroom victory DISH case Open Case Results Open August 2, 2024 2 minutes read Sequor Law Sequor Law partner Daniel M. Coyle, with assistance from Daniel J. Halperin and Joseph Rome, secured a significant win before Judge Delano last month when she gave her oral ruling in Gaby Fraifer’s bankruptcy case on Sequor’s client DISH Network L.L.C.’s second renewed motion to dismiss or convert, and objection to the confirmation of the Third Amended Plan. The debtor violated DISH’s copyright by selling what the laity would call ‘black boxes’ with apps that broadcast Arabic language television through content delivery networks, boosting the quality of the signal with encoders. DISH obtained a judgment in the MD of Fla. supported by a memorandum opinion detailing the factual findings supporting the judgment of direct copyright infringement. Sequor was retained to pursue discovery in aid and satisfaction of the judgment. Soon after seeking charging orders, the debtor filed a Sub. V petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The debtor’s main assets were a 10% legal interest in three LLCS, two of which owned real property and one of which owned a promissory note secured by a mortgage. The two properties were leased to tenants paying Triple Net Leases (whereby they pay most of the expenses on the property). Despite that the debtor’s wife was purportedly the owner of 90% of the interest in the LLCs, the LLCs were managed and solely run by the debtor and the debtor provided documents in which he, as manager, had reserved the right to revise the ownership percentages of the LLCs at any time. The original operating agreements were nowhere to be found, and the only documentation supporting the debtor’s narrative regarding the ownership of the LLCs post-dated DISH’s lawsuit against the debtor. The debtor proposed three plans whereby he would contribute his distributions and salary to the plans, along with income of his wife. The plans involved significant educational expenses to debtor’s adult children, along with other significant living expenses. The debtor also attempted to demonstrate a reduction of the income generated by the LLCs by subtracting the expenses paid for by the tenants and refusing to fully lease up the properties or invest the funds generated by the LLCs. The Court saw through all of the debtor’s machinations and denied each of the debtor’s proposed plans, which required two separate trials. Before the second trial, the team mediated over a period of six months before Judge Brown, including numerous joint and single zoom sessions and a two-day in person session. Joseph Rome assisted at the first trial in May 2023 on the initial motion to dismiss or convert and objection to plan, and this evidence was judicially noticed for purposes of the most recent trial. Daniel J. Halperin assisted at the second trial in April 2024 and elicited key testimony from the expert witness to undermine the debtor’s testimony.

The international networking and professional growth organization, aimed at women in the restructuring and insolvency industries, announced the names of its five-member executive board and its ten-member management committee on 17 September. IWIRC also published the names of its new regional directors, directors at large, as well as its standing committee and vice directors. Carrianne Basler , a managing director at AlixPartners in Chicago who was vice chair, succeeds outgoing chair Jennifer McLemore . Michelle Pickett , a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Toronto, Canada, becomes the new vice chair. McLemore will remain on the board as immediate past chair. The executive board also includes Leyza B. Florin of Sequor Law in Miami as secretary, Jennifer Kimble of New York restructuring firm Prime Clerk as treasurer, and Marjorie Kaufman of Getzler Henrich in Boston as Vice Finance Director. Appointees to the group’s management committee include Tinamarie Feil , president of the California-based BMC Group, who becomes the group’s UNCITRAL committee director. Alexandra Schnapp , a law clerk at the US Bankruptcy Court in Atlanta, is the communications director. Eloise Fardon , a senior associate at Stephenson Harwood in Hong Kong, is now the Asia regional director. Rita Gismondi , an associate at Gianni Origoni Grippo Cappelli & Partners in Rome, is the new Europe regional director.

Outgoing chair McLemore says, “The composition of the Board speaks to the depth and expertise of our membership base and we look forward to working with these talented women.” In a phone interview, she told GRR the organisation’s focus right now is to bring the international experience to the local level—so that members who are unable to attend international conferences can still have access to those international resources. IWIRC’s newsletter is one resource the organisation is aiming to make more accessible; for example, by using social media to give it a stronger international presence on the internet. Founded in 1993, IWIRC is a not-for-profit organisation currently located in Asia, Europe, and North America and continues to grow.

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.
