Paul McGrath QC specialises in international commercial fraud litigation both before the UK Courts and Courts of various off-shore jurisdictions. His expertise spans banking law, equity, restitution, tort, company and insolvency law as well as challenging off-shore discretionary trusts and other devices for disguising true ownership of assets.
It takes many years to begin to understand how those various fields
can be used to give a client or a student an overall picture and
framework. This book goes far to collate into one bible the missing
pieces of blue sky in a proverbial jigsaw puzzle of fraud. Many
reading this book will be embarrassed to learn of remedies they
never knew were available. Many of the topics covered are not just
things one learns during an undergraduate degree course in law, or
at law school. Perhaps during a continual professional developments
course you may experience a glimpse of such concepts, but nothing
as good as this book. * Professor David Rosen International Company
and Commercial Law Review *
Nobody familiar with Paul McGrath's work as a practitioner will be
surprised that as an author he does not duck legal difficulties: he
engages with them and identifies uncertainties that good lawyers
should confront. His observations are always to the point; every
chapter has insightful comments; cliches are analysed; platitudes
are destroyed. * Andrew Smith, Royal Courts of Justice *
