BLV Group Corporation was founded in 2003 by Raheem J. Brennerman, an experienced investor and philanthropist with interests in energy and real estate, and a team of stylists, interior designers and architects.[3][4] BLV Group has a diversified global client base that includes multinational corporations, sovereign entities and high net worth individuals. It maintains a presence in several cities throughout the United States, as well as in London, and Hong Kong, and plans to expand into China, Brazil, the Middle East, and Africa.[5]
Brennerman is currently engaged in lawsuits with The Guardian, The Sunday Times and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists regarding articles published in 2012 and 2013 accusing him of benefitting from significant loans made by the Royal Bank of Scotland to an offshore company investing in London real estate.[6][7][8]
In March 2016, the case against the Sunday Times was struck out by a London court after Brennerman failed to comply with an earlier court order to provide £225,000 security against costs [9]
