Asset
Recovery

We operate in Brazil and abroad tracing assets that were misappropriated so they can be repatriated and returned to their rightful owners. Asset tracing is fundamentally based on techniques related to fraud, corruption, and money laundering investigation.

Through searches in public databases, accounting analyses, and investigative journalism techniques, we aim to identify the network of relationships and corporate structures connected to the subject under investigation. Such relationships may often indicate the use of a third person to conceal assets.

At international level, we coordinate strategies across multiple jurisdictions to trace and dismantle corporate structures used for asset shielding and wealth concealment.
