Practice Areas

Syed's white-collar crime experience and expertise and his global asset tracing and recovery track record have earned him a notable reputation for providing tailored, robust representation in both high-stakes commercial and financial disputes and complex, cross-border investigations.

He has recorded important cryptocurrency legal firsts, leading to him being recognised as a major figure in global cryptoasset litigation. Syed is also heavily involved in numerous significant, complex sanctions cases and related litigation.

His ability in defending business crime, serious fraud and regulatory allegations and flair for negotiating ensure the corporates, directors, financial institutions and high net worth individuals he represents obtain the best possible outcome.

His recent caseload includes global energy sector corruption allegations and major financial services investigations. He has extensive experience of obtaining and defending worldwide freezing orders, disclosure orders and search orders. His in-depth knowledge of SPACs (special purpose acquisition companies) means he is ideally placed to handle cases arising from their rising popularity. Syed is also in demand to represent clients in civil recovery proceedings.
