JERICHO,
N.Y., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
consulting firm J.S. Held, proudly celebrating 50 transformative
years, announces its experts' recognition by Who's Who Legal (WWL),
which annually identifies the foremost legal practitioners and
consulting experts based upon comprehensive, independent
research.
J.S. Held announces recognition
highlighting expertise in asset tracing, global investigations, and
forensic accounting.
Asset Recovery Expertise
J.S. Held has been recognized in the 2024 WWL report on Asset
Tracing, Search, and Recovery for its market-leading expertise
in tracing and recovering lost, misappropriated, or stolen assets.
The firm's experts are acknowledged as leaders in global asset
tracing and recovery, delivering actionable intelligence to support
recoveries in large-scale litigation and arbitration claims,
judgments, and awards for a diverse clientele including
corporations, banks, law firms, hedge funds and litigation funders.
Targeting high-value assets and those that may cause disruption,
experts work with counsel both pre-litigation and post-judgment and
award to help assess and recover assets.
A notable example of J.S. Held's expertise in award recovery
involved an oil and gas company that obtained a $374 million ICSID award against the Republic of
Ecuador, which the government was
refusing to pay. J.S. Held's asset recovery experts supported the
development of the recovery strategy and managed global enforcement
efforts, resulting in full payment of the award within one year of
engagement.
Investigations
The WWL and Global Investigations Review Investigations
2024 report highlights J.S. Held's prowess in
multi-jurisdictional investigations and forensic accounting. The
firm's Global Investigations practice, led by Greg Esslinger, a seasoned business leader and
investigator with experience in over 40 countries, comprises 150
experts across the Americas, Europe, the Middle
East, and Asia.
In a matter where US counsel for a global insurer retained a
London-based expert to oversee an
investigation of 40+ companies operating in the commodities sector
across the US, Asia Pacific, and
the Middle East, J.S. Held experts
conducted a multifaceted investigation of a large and complex claim
made by the policyholder of a trade credit insurance policy. As a
result of the investigation process, the insurer and law firm
provided a robust defense to the claim, resulting in withdrawal of
the claim in full before it reached arbitration.

accounting. J.S. Held's credentialed experts include Certified
