When Gold Trades Go Wrong
You wired funds to a licensed exporter, aggregator, or even Gold Board but the gold never arrived. The bank cites “Gold Board procedures,” or the seller blames compliance delays. Weeks become months, and your capital is effectively frozen.
Clinton Consulting Partners (T/A The Law Office of Clinton Consultancy) assists investors and traders who have funds tied up at Gold Boards, refiners, or intermediary aggregators across Africa. With offices in Ghana and Sierra Leone and verified partners in Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, and Dubai, our network moves quickly to trace payments, verify licensing, and initiate recovery before assets dissipate.
What We Do Immediately
-
Regulatory & Licensing Checks – confirm whether the aggregator or exporter remains in good standing with the relevant Gold Board or Mining Authority.
-
Bank Liaison – contact the compliance department of the receiving bank (Ecobank, Zenith, Access, etc.) to request lawful confirmation or temporary hold on disputed funds.
-
Formal Notice to Authority – draft and serve legal notices to the Gold Board, Minerals Commission, or NMA requiring confirmation of shipment status and any withheld certificates.
-
Civil & Criminal Remedies – prepare freezing-order applications or criminal-complaint briefs if misrepresentation or fraud is identified.
-
On-Ground Recovery Coordination – deploy our in-country lawyers and compliance consultants to meet the relevant exporter, officials, and logistics agents.
