Our Approach
We employ a multi-disciplinary approach to asset recovery, combining legal expertise with investigative techniques and international cooperation. Our process begins with thorough asset tracing, followed by strategic legal action to freeze and ultimately recover misappropriated funds or property.
Our team has unique firsthand experience in Nigeria's most significant asset recovery efforts. We were part of Nigeria's asset recovery delegation to Washington DC in 2017 for the legal process leading to the repatriation of "Abacha loot 2," giving us unparalleled insight into complex international recovery proceedings.
We leverage our experience with global asset recovery forums and international legal cooperation mechanisms to provide comprehensive recovery solutions. Our work includes participation in the Global Forum on Asset Recovery (GFAR) and collaboration with international bodies focused on anti-corruption and asset repatriation.
