Introduction
A global EPC contractor executing a strategic infrastructure project in Algeria faced a sudden operational standstill after local counterpart actions led to the freezing of project accounts and allegations of invoice fraud.

The Challenge
The freeze jeopardized continuity on a time-critical, multi-million-dollar build, while parallel civil and criminal exposure risked compounding financial and reputational harm.

Our Strategy
We launched a coordinated civil–criminal response: urgent measures to lift the freeze, a document-integrity review to address falsification claims, and a litigation posture aligned to preserve business continuity while preparing claims for damages.

The Result
Client operations were restored through unfreezing of assets and containment of immediate legal risk, stabilizing project delivery and positioning the company for follow-on remedies against the counterpart.

Conclusion
Fast, integrated action across procedural tracks enabled the client to avoid critical delays and protect its standing on a flagship project.
