Ahmed Dharsi LLP obtained a Mareva injunction at the outset of a complex fraud proceeding, securing the court’s authorization to freeze the defendants’ assets on an urgent basis. The injunction was granted despite extremely short notice and opposition from multiple parties represented by separate counsel.

Following the injunction, our team advanced the matter through litigation, ultimately securing full judgment against all defendants. The court awarded not only compensatory damages, but also a significant punitive damages award, underscoring the egregiousness of the defendants’ conduct and the effectiveness of our litigation strategy.

Significance

This case exemplifies the firm’s ability to act decisively in fraud matters, preserve client recovery prospects through extraordinary relief, and follow through with complete success at trial. The punitive damages award reinforced the seriousness of the misconduct and the court’s disapproval, setting a high-water mark in civil fraud enforcement.
