California Bar No. 146124 · Admitted June 12, 1990
Profile
Craig Turner Brooks is one of the firm's most senior litigators, with a career spanning more than three decades of commercial disputes.
His practice did not begin in asset recovery. Craig initially focused on traditional business litigation, shareholder disputes, contractual conflicts, and complex commercial cases.
As business became increasingly international, the disputes he handled increasingly involved assets, companies, and counterparties located across multiple jurisdictions.
That evolution ultimately led him toward international enforcement and asset recovery.
Career Story
Craig's career reflects the transition from traditional domestic commercial litigation to modern multi-jurisdictional disputes.
During the earlier decades of his practice, his work centered on courtroom litigation and negotiated resolution. Later matters increasingly involved overseas entities and complex enforcement issues.
He came to view a successful litigation strategy as incomplete unless it also considered whether a judgment could realistically be enforced.
At Harven Rich, he provides senior strategic oversight on the firm's most complex recovery matters.
