Case study: Cross-border transaction and financial fraud

Writer: Nicolai LundeNicolai Lunde

When navigating cross-border transactions, due diligence and forensic investigations are paramount. 


Our client was involved in a $4M debenture transaction, where an initial premium of $73,000 was requested for the issuance of a tradable instrument, allegedly backed by a tier one bank. The client, sensing potential risks, sought our legal support.


A senior lawyer and a paralegal from our team initiated a screening of all parties involved in the instrument chain. We also participated in a call with the facilitating party and the payee of the premium, ensuring our client’s interests were well-represented.


The result was a 13-page transaction analysis matrix, complemented by a legal memo that highlighted all findings. Our team identified yellow and red flags, indicating potential risks and inconsistencies. Leveraging contract AI, we quickly analyzed the debenture terms and uncovered inconsistencies that supported the conclusion of the transaction being a fraudulent scheme.


This case underscores the importance of thorough due diligence in cross-border transactions. It also highlights our firm’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology like contract AI to protect our clients’ interests.


For high-value overseas investments or cross-border transactions, we think its better to be safe than sorry.
