Kanika is a Partner in TLT’s Banking & Restructuring Team.  Her main area of expertise is contentious insolvency, often involving aspects of fraud and cross border asset recovery. She is heavily involved in the firm’s India practice and co-leads TLT’s India Group. She has a specific focus on matters relating to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 (in India) and work flowing from that, both in the UK and abroad. Her reputation in this field continues to grow as evidenced by the numerous invitations she continues to get to present to regulatory authorities such as the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (on the topic of personal insolvency and cross border insolvency) as well as more generally at conferences. A significant part of Kanika’s practice involves working alongside the financial services disputes and investigations team at TLT on enforcement and recovery work for several of the Indian banks located in London but also back in India.

I am a director in our insolvency and asset recovery team dealing with contentious assignments. I specialise in global asset tracing, recovery, and enforcement, where I use insolvency and civil procedures as powerful tools to recover hidden and misappropriated assets to maximise financial recoveries for stakeholders.

My work typically involves multiple onshore/offshore insolvency appointments – liquidations, bankruptcies, and receiverships – where I coordinate enforcement and asset recovery strategy across multiple jurisdictions, including India, the Middle East, the UK, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, the Offshore Financial Centres, and the US.

I have extensive experience working with Indian and Middle Eastern financial institutions, corporates, and lawyers, in enforcing non-performing loans, judgments, and arbitration awards. I often act on a contingent basis where I share the costs and rewards of recovery.

I have recently been working with Grant Thornton India to help grow and develop its asset recovery and insolvency business in light of recent legislative changes in India. The recovery of assets related to Indian fraud or bad debts outside of the jurisdiction is a particular interest and focus.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, hiking and spending time outdoors.
