Whitfield & Crane LLP

Biography

Priya coordinates the firm’s cross-border tracing efforts across more than 40 jurisdictions. She works hand-in-hand with local counsel to follow stolen funds through shell companies, nominee accounts, real estate holdings and digital wallets — and to convert evidence into freezing orders that stick.

She thinks in asset classes, not borders, and has spent her career proving that what scammers call “unrecoverable” is usually just untraced.

Priya is dual-qualified in New York and India and chairs the firm’s Asia practice group.
