Overview
On August 29, 2023, Law360 quoted Zoe Osborne in a piece titled "Ten Years Of Lawfare: How ENRC Torpedoed The SFO's Probe." The article discusses the UK Serious Fraud Office's (SFO) decade-long investigation into allegations of bribery, corruption and fraud by Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC).
The piece centers on the agency's apparent misconduct over its handling of the inquiry, and litigations initiated by ENRC, including its £41 million ($51.6 million) High Court claim against the SFO, Dechert and former Dechert partner Neil Gerrard.
Commenting on the matter, Zoe Osborne said “There just seemed to be so many bear traps, whether it is privilege or how they obtained information: there is just so much that the defense team can challenge, and I don't know how the SFO can get through that."
