The Tangled Web They Weave: Detangling the Web of Nominees, Aiders and Abettors

with Sequor Attorney Carolina Goncalves and 

Director of Investigations Barbara Miranda

Expert Guest Speaker:

Julieta LaMalfa, Director of Disputes, Compliance & Investigations, Stout (US)

The use of nominees, aiders and abettors to transfer and hide assets is common throughout all jurisdictions. Moreover, each jurisdiction has different levels of public records and information available to identify the ultimate beneficial owners of assets as well as laws related to piercing through these facades to ultimately access the assets of the debtor. With this in mind, this podcast is meant to give an introduction into the types of nominees, aiders and abettors, how to identify them, the availability of records reflecting ultimate beneficial ownership in various jurisdictions, and potential legal tools to use once you have sufficient evidence to show a judge that these individuals and/or entities are in fact nominees, aiders and/or abettors of the debtor.
