Ros is head of our market leading fraud and asset recovery team. She is recognised internationally as being one of the leading global lawyer for her work helping clients to recover assets by enforcing judgments and arbitration awards. Chambers & Partners' global Asset Tracing & Recovery guide ranks her as one of just 8 lawyers ranked in Band 1 across the world. She acts regularly on the largest enforcement cases, and is currently representing the former majority shareholders of Yukos Oil Company in enforcing US50+ billion arbitration awards against the Russian Federation in England, to our knowledge the largest enforcement case in legal history.

She has extensive experience of high value cross border fraud cases. As well as running fraud investigations and bringing claims, she frequently obtains and defends against injunctions, including freezing orders and search orders. The Legal 500 UK list Ros in the 'Hall of Fame' and Chambers & Partners UK list her as a 'Leading Individual' in Band 1 for civil fraud.

Ros frequently acts on cases for and against states and state owned entities, and has deep expertise in questions of state immunity. Almost all of her cases are international, and most of them involve parallel actions in other jurisdictions, whether to secure assets held through offshore structures or to co-ordinate a global strategy in the face of parallel civil or criminal litigation.

Ros’ expertise is highly regarded internationally, and she has been asked to speak on asset recovery related topics at events organised by the United Nations, the Commonwealth, and a number of governments.
