Resolving Complex International Claims

Anderson International is a specialist legal practice focused exclusively on cross-border insolvency and international financial claims recovery. We operate from Chancery House on Chancery Lane, London, the historic centre of the English legal profession.

Our work centres on cases where assets are trapped in foreign insolvency proceedings, where creditors have been unable to navigate complex jurisdictional requirements, or where the passage of time has created procedural barriers that require expert legal intervention.

We combine deep expertise in English and international insolvency law with established local counsel networks to deliver results in proceedings spanning multiple jurisdictions. Every case is handled with the rigour, discretion, and attention to detail that complex international disputes demand.

Our practice also encompasses cross-border probate and estate administration, including matters where beneficiaries reside outside the jurisdiction of the probate court. We have handled complex international succession cases involving UK, EU, and Commonwealth estate assets.
