Experienced investigators and specialized lawyers who tirelessly stand up for defrauded investors.
Behind the Foundation Bureau Fraude Recht en Geldzaken stands a team of professionals with years of experience in combating investment fraud and recovering damages for defrauded investors. Our team combines investigative expertise with legal striking power—exactly what is needed to effectively tackle fraudsters.
United We Stand
Leadership and Investigation
The foundation and the bureau are led by people who know the investment world from the inside. Our founder worked in the investment industry for years, including at Goodwood Investments itself. This knowledge of internal operations, sales practices, and corporate structures is invaluable when exposing fraud and building a body of evidence. The investigative team knows exactly where to find the evidence, how money flows must be traced, and what questions must be asked to uncover the truth. This knowledge cannot be learned from a book—it stems from years of direct, hands-on experience.
Dutch Legal Network
Our Dutch lawyers specialize in conducting mass claims, proving torts (unlawful acts), and directors' liability. They know the Dutch legal system thoroughly and have extensive experience in complex financial cases. From summary proceedings to proceedings on the merits, from prejudgment attachments to appeals—they master all facets of procedural law. These lawyers are not merely generalists who "sometimes take on a fraud case." They are specialists who focus entirely on this area of law and know the nuances that make the difference between winning and losing in the courtroom.
International Specialists
For international cases, we collaborate with American fraud lawyers who are considered worldwide to be the number 1 in their field. These specialists are experts in forensic financial flow research—systematically tracing financial transactions across international borders. They are highly skilled at substantiating fraudulent acts, detecting unlawful behavior, and tracking down assets that have been siphoned off abroad. Partnering with this international network enables BFRG to act effectively outside the Netherlands as well: asset seizures in Brazil, investigations in Luxembourg, and simultaneous legal proceedings in multiple jurisdictions. This is a capability that few other parties in the Netherlands possess.
Why Specialists Make the Difference
Investment fraud is complex. It involves intricate corporate structures with numerous companies across multiple countries, international money flows intentionally made opaque, and opposing parties who do everything in their power to cover their tracks and hide their assets. An ordinary lawyer is not accustomed to this.
Only with specialized knowledge, experience, and international striking power can you, as a defrauded investor, effectively assert your rights. Our team offers precisely that combination of expertise needed to successfully bring fraudsters to justice.
