Top litigators in The Academy complement the Basel Institute's work to tackle financial crime. These litigators are creative and eager to explore innovative strategies.
Considering the growth of the worldwide white-collar criminal practice, we saw a need to bring together hardcore litigators to foster skills and allow court access when the case needs to be decided there.
A foundation for maintaining the rule of law is a strong and independent bar. The Academy will seek to foster our strength and independence through collegiality, nonpartisanship, inclusiveness, internationalism and learning.
The Academy, my muse, helps me practice allyship. During challenging times, it is strengthened by camaraderie and professional opportunities. Our awareness in social justice and respect for the rule of law unites and amplifies our common interests and thought leadership.
Working alongside the academics at The Academy, we see organic growth, improved litigation and research skills, and are challenged daily to closely examine stimulating issues.
The Basel Institute encourages prosecution agencies to engage The Academy's litigators to represent them in foreign courts against financial institutions facing money laundering and corruption.

The Academy has united the top public- and private-sector litigation professionals with the renowned Basel Institute on Governance and like-minded academics to form an independent, non-partisan global center of excellence that encourages collaboration and innovation to shape and advance financial-crime litigation practices for the future.
