Litigator Lincoln Caylor advises clients on international economic crimes from asset-tracing investigations and asset-recovery litigation, to trust contests over alleged misconduct and enforcement actions in complex, global financial frauds and related internal investigations, including Canada's anti-money laundering regime.

In 2022, Chambers & Partners Global-wide Asset Tracing & Recovery ranked Lincoln as its sole Canadian-based litigator once again. According to a friendly competitor, “he's the first port of call for any of this work that touches on Canadian territory."

"He's an excellent advocate," a market peer affirms, "Lincoln is a leader…at high-level strategy and setting out a plan to follow to ensure that individual events don’t interrupt the overall plan."

Given his familiarity with multifaceted mandates, Lincoln often helps clients through complex proceedings while simultaneously planning with international counterparts to develop and implement cross-border litigation and asset-recovery strategies and solutions. Chambers & Partners Global-wide Asset Tracing and Recovery latest review, sums him up as a “technically excellent” advocate who “deals with difficult situations in a calm and collected manner.”

Consequently, clients repeatedly highlight his dedication and solid track record, collectively noting him as a National Leader in Who’s Who Legal: Canada - Litigation 2022. “[He] is recognized by market commentators as ‘a top-class litigator’ with unmatched skills in international asset tracing and recovery.”

Lincoln’s professional impact is notable amongst peers who regard him as a voice in and out of the courtroom. He co-founded and frequently cooperates with Fellows of The International Academy of Financial Crime Litigators, a collaboration between elite public and private litigation professionals and the Basel Institute on Governance to expand worldwide access to solutions in economic crime cases.

Lincoln served as a governor and vice-chairman of Upper Canada College and is a past chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Barrow Foundation. He is also a former member of the Board of Directors for The Macdonald Laurier Institute. Lincoln is a proud recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his devotion to Canada.

  Speaking Engagements / April 17, 2018
  Lincoln Caylor is a panelist for "So You Have an Arbitration Award - Now What (Enforcement through Litigation)?" at the ABA's 2018 Annual Conference of the Section of International Law in New York. The international arbitration framework is designed to provide incentives for voluntary compliance by the award debtor. However, in many cases the award is not voluntarily complied with, either because the award debtor is or risks becoming insolvent or is taking steps to conceal his/her assets. What remedies does the arbitral tribunal have at its disposal to ensure that the award is collectible? What can you do after the award has been rendered? In addition, an increasing number of arbitration disputes involve allegations of bribery and corruption. How should these issues be addressed in the arbitration proceedings themselves, particularly with an eye towards the ultimate enforcement of the arbitral award? Arbitration involving State entities also raise a number of interesting issues, including issues of sovereign immunity. How should those issues be addressed during the arbitration to facilitate post award enforcement? All of these questions and more will be addressed by this cross-jurisdictional panel of arbitration and asset recovery experts.

  Articles / September 24, 2017
  Lincoln Caylor authors "Portfolio Litigation Financing - What’s in it for the Lawyers?" with contributions from Nina Butz.  Over the last decade, third-party litigation funding has established itself as an important and profitable product for funders, their investors, law firms, and clients alike. However, the funding model first introduced to the legal world looked significantly different than the deals seen in headlines today. Among other factors, this evolution can be traced to the emergence of “portfolio financing” – arguably the defining trend in litigation funding over the past year. Several of the largest players in the funding arena are now investing less than 15% of their litigation investment portfolios in single-case deals.  Published in ICC FraudNet.

The judge granted Holyoake’s application, writing that if the court can prevent a defendant from disposing of his or her assets altogether, then plainly it can grant a less intrusive notification injunction.

• Parliamentary Restrictions on Judicial Discretion in Sentencing
  Articles / July 12, 2016
  In Canada, courts have historically borne the primary responsibility for ensuring that sentences in criminal cases fit the seriousness of the impugned conduct. In this respect, Canada is not unique. As in many other common law jurisdictions, the Parliament of Canada has preferred to define criminal offences in broad language, permitting an offence to capture a wide array of conduct with varying degrees of moral culpability. I t usually sets only high, rarely-imposed maximum penalties. Although these maximum penalties are mandatory, the yoke of this Parliamentary circumscription of judicial discretion in sentencing has rested lightly on judges' shoulders.

  In the right circumstances, arbitration can provide a time- and cost-effective alternative to fraud litigation that is worth considering, particularly given the growing prevalence of arbitration agreements internationally and the potential risk of fraud or corruption in international business deals. The less public, more flexible nature of the arbitration process are also part of what make it an appealing option. However, though there are benefits, a fraud claimant should also be prepared for the challenges before taking this route toward resolution.

  Articles / November 24, 2015
  Creditors of America's second largest Ponzi scheme will get their day in court as a result of a key ruling earlier this month by the Superior Court of Justice – Ontario. The court dismissed a motion for summary judgment from Toronto-Dominion Bank, which would have set aside a $5.5 billion claim against the bank by liquidators of Stanford International Bank (SIB). This decision in Canada, in a massive case that has played out in courts in several jurisdictions since 2009, is particularly meaningful. The ruling by the Honourable Barbara A.

• Just investing: spread of litigation funding evens playing field(1)
  Articles / October 28, 2015
  Your drinking water has been poisoned, your car is defective, or you have lost your life savings in an investment fraud. Neither you, nor the other victims have the money to pay for a lawsuit, but an investment company backs the suit, allowing you to mount a vigorous case. A win would not only net damages for you, but a return on investment for the company that banked the lawsuit. This is the brave new world of third-party litigation funding, or litigation finance, in which institutional investors offer financing in return for a contingency in the recovery. One of the most critical developments in civil and potentially commercial litigation, the practice has the potential to impact many types of cases, including international fraud, environmental and corporate cases worldwide.

• In Defence of Mandatory Minimum Sentences and Surcharges
  Articles / August 21, 2014
  The Harper government has lost some very public court battles lately, highlighting current tensions between Parliament and the judiciary over mandatory minimum sentencing tools. The government's most recent defeat came in R. v. Michael. In this case, a prominent Ontario Court judge in Ottawa, Justice David Paciocco, convicted a homeless, alcohol and drug addicted 26-year-old named Shaun Michael of nine offences, including assault against a peace officer. Michael faced $900 in mandatory victim surcharges in addition to four months already spent in custody and two years of probation. Justice Paciocco refused to order the mandatory victim surcharges. He found that a $900 fine would be cruel and unusual punishment when combined with prison and probation, contrary to Section 12 of the Charter. And so the Court struck down the Criminal Code section creating the mandatory victim surcharge regime as unconstitutional. Written by Lincoln Caylor and Gannon Beaulne, and published in the Ottawa Citizen.

  Articles / January 10, 2013

• Managing the Risk Related to the Rogue Employee Through Insurance
  Articles / June 27, 2011

In the Global Economic Crime Survey 2009, PricewaterhouseCoopers found that economic crime in Canada was at its highest level in six years. Further, a recent KPMG survey found that 69% of frauds were inside jobs. If not properly managed, this is a problem that can take a significant toll and even lead to the failure of a business. Yet, companies are not defenseless against potential threat; by understanding the options available, the risk of a rogue employee can be mitigated.
