What the Team is Known For

Kobre & Kim is a specialised white-collar crime boutique garnering increased international recognition for its cross-border enforcement and criminal defense work. The law firm regularly acts as co-counsel in multi-jurisdictional investigations and litigation concerning corporate fraud and money laundering. It also acts as lead global coordinator, advising clients on regulatory defense strategy and enforcement actions, and is particularly adept in proceedings involving offshore jurisdictions. 

The team consists of investigators who are well equipped to deal with US agencies, such as the SEC and the CFTC, as well as a whole host of regulators across the globe. The law firm's lawyers are primarily stationed in Miami, New York and Washington, D.C.; however, the firm also has an impressive global footprint, with additional offices in Asia, Europe and offshore jurisdictions, such as the BVI and the Cayman Islands. The group boasts an increasingly prominent Latin America practice, characterised by leading asset recovery expertise in Brazil and an active presence in Argentina.
