Expertise
Kas joined Mishcon de Reya's Fraud and Special Investigations Group in 1994 after having gained considerable experience of heavyweight commercial litigation while at another commercial London law firm. He became a partner in the firm in April 1996. Kas has been involved in many types of fraud investigation ranging from employee theft to complex financial frauds, bribery and corruption cases requiring an understanding of computer systems.
Kas typically acts for large organisations who have become victims of fraud and dishonesty. He makes use of the legal remedies available to freeze, search, seize and trace assets and enforce judgments in foreign jurisdictions on a regular basis. The international nature of most frauds means that much of Kas' work has a multi-jurisdictional aspect. Kas is co-founder of the MdR Fraud Network, an informal association of specialist fraud lawyers practising in different jurisdictions founded in November 1995.
Kas has increasingly become involved and has advised on a variety of issues relating to protection of household brands and intellectual property rights and protection of confidential information and business secrets spanning a wide range of sectors.
Kas is a frequent speaker at conferences and seminars and has written a number of articles on various aspects of fraud investigation and remedies. Most recently Kas contributed to "Information Risk and Security" (Gower Publishing 2006) which tackles prevention and investigation of computer crime at the workplace.
