Sofie Hoffman

Spear's Review

Hoffman works with an international clientele comprised of international HNWs, family offices and larger companies. Expert areas include assisting clients on recovery of the proceeds of fraud, with cases often involving multiple jurisdictions and allegations of wrongdoing.
