📢 I've decided Fraser Mitchell is chuckling at some witty asset recovery themed joke I made rather than my inaugural chairing performance... 🙏 Either way, enormous thanks to all our Junior London Solicitors Litigation Association members, guests and speakers that joined us for our Magnificent Assets panel. 💡 Was great to host and to hear from some industry leaders on their respective roles within asset tracing and recovery - Duncan McCombe, Fraser Mitchell, Neil Gore and Nat Abramov. ❗ TL;DR takeaway - Asset tracing and recovery is an interesting and challenging area of practice but one that is essential to be on top of to ensure pyrrhic victories are avoided in disputes. #LSLA #Litigation #AssetRecovery
