It is a contemporary consultancy and advisory firm that provides strategic guidance in extraordinarily complex legal cases.

IIAG provides expert advice in the fields of international criminal law, sanctions, extradition, human rights, asset recovery and crisis management. Dealing with complex cases implies facing crisis management situations head on, with art and style. In IIAG’s approach, the firm works directly and personally with the client with the purpose to ensure they truly understand what strategy is applied and for which purposes. One of the most challenging aspects of resolving complex international legal matters lies in the fact that every jurisdiction has its own specific rules and customs. Understanding the historical, cultural, social and political backgrounds is key to apprehending the mentalities and ways of thinking of the judges and prosecutors in the jurisdictions at stake. Legal proceedings managed by IIAG usually involve multiple jurisdictions at one time, sometimes even mixing the anglo-saxon and continental systems. There are generally conflicts of laws, fostering fertile grounds for creative approaches that enable possible resolutions. All these nuances must be explained to the client in order for him to understand what the right steps to be taken are. Indeed, managing such procedures on the client’s side implies predicting the next many steps, much like in a game of chess. An effective defense strategy is built by taking into account those multiple parameters.
