Head of Enforcement (Confidential)

An international disputes and litigation finance platform is seeking a Head of Enforcement to build and lead its global enforcement and asset recovery capability. This is a rare opportunity for a senior enforcement professional to take full ownership of a growing enforcement practice with the mandate capital and autonomy to shape strategy, originate matters and drive recoveries across complex multi‑jurisdictional cases. The role is responsible for judgment enforcement, asset recovery investigations and commercial strategy and will suit someone who wants genuine influence rather than a narrow technical remit.

Role

You will lead enforcement strategy across funded matters globally, acting as a senior advisor to clients and internal investment teams from the earliest assessment of recoverability through to execution and monetisation. This is a hands‑on senior role with meaningful discretion over strategy prioritisation and outcomes.

• Owning the enforcement pipeline from sourcing and assessment through investment approval and execution
• Shaping enforcement and recovery strategy on complex cross‑border judgments and awards
• Working directly with clients, law firms, investigators, asset tracers and experts
• Negotiating funding structures and supporting documentation
• Overseeing funded matters post‑investment including enforcement strategy, settlement discussions and recoveries
• Managing specialist asset tracing and investigations resources across key jurisdictions
• Acting as the internal authority on enforcement risk, recoverability and execution

Market Presence & Growth

A core part of the mandate is to build the enforcement franchise. You will be encouraged to:

• Develop relationships with law firms, corporates, advisors and insolvency professionals
• Originate and shape enforcement opportunities rather than simply assess inbound cases
• Represent the platform discreetly in senior‑level market conversations
• Help define how enforcement is positioned as a differentiated capability

The Person

This role is suited to someone who recognises themselves in the following:

• 12 years experience in enforcement, asset recovery investigations or related disputes work
• A strong legal foundation ideally with an outstanding academic background
• A demonstrable track record enforcing judgments and arbitral awards across jurisdictions
• Experience with complex commercial matters including fraud, defaulted debt or asset tracing
• Commercial judgement and confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and counterparties
• Comfort operating autonomously and building something with real ownership
• The ability to form and defend a clear view on recoverability and strategy
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• Willingness to travel and engage internationally
• Confident speaking at conferences, networking, publishing articles and developing business

Why This Role

• Genuine ownership of a global enforcement capability
• Direct influence on strategy, investment decisions and outcomes
• Exposure to complex high‑value cross-border matters
• Platform capital and senior backing to build something meaningful
• A senior seat at the table without bureaucracy or dilution of responsibility
