Human Rights Lawyer Jared Genser, Lanny J. Davis Join Team Representing Cambodian Businessman Yim Leak

International human rights lawyer Jared Genser and former White House special counsel Lanny J. Davis have joined the legal and advocacy team representing Cambodian businessman Yim Leak. The team, part of Seiden Law LLP, aims to challenge an asset freeze and allegations surrounding Yim in Thailand. Genser, managing director of Perseus Strategies, expressed concerns over the scale of the asset freeze and its disproportionate nature to the transaction, as well as questioning the treatment of KYC obligations and the inclusion of a child's savings account in the proceedings.

Davis, who will focus on public advocacy and reputational issues, intends to investigate potential complicity or negligence by Thai authorities in the sustained campaign against Yim. The allegations have not been independently verified, and the team's expanded strategy suggests a broader focus on international human rights, due-process, and reputational issues.
