About Us

Who We Are

Asset Recovery Network (UK) Ltd specialises in the coordination and management of complex cross-border asset tracing and recovery assignments.


We work with governments, financial institutions, insolvency practitioners, legal professionals, corporations, and other organisations seeking to recover assets lost through breach of contract, fraud, corruption, loan default, misappropriation, and other forms of economic crime.


Drawing upon a network of experienced investigators, lawyers, forensic specialists, intelligence providers, and recovery professionals, we help clients navigate every stage of the recovery process. This may include asset tracing, intelligence gathering, evidence development, asset preservation strategies, freezing actions, enforcement proceedings, and ultimately the recovery of assets where legally and commercially viable.


ARNUK acts as a central point of coordination, managing specialist recovery teams on behalf of clients and ensuring that investigations are conducted efficiently, professionally, and in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements across relevant jurisdictions.


Our work is international in scope, with particular experience supporting organisations across Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and other emerging markets where cross-border asset recovery challenges frequently arise.


Where appropriate, we seek to structure engagements using success-based or performance-linked fee arrangements through our specialist recovery partners, helping to align interests and reduce upfront costs for clients. We can also support phased engagements, allowing clients to assess recovery prospects before committing to more extensive action.


Our objective is simple: to help clients locate, preserve, and recover assets while maximising value and minimising operational complexity.

Dedicated to encouraging greater accountability and transparency in the financial sector.

ARNUK is an organisation dedicated to encouraging greater accountability and transparency in the financial services sector in developing markets through retrospective action by stakeholders for the benefit of investors, shareholders and ultimately the development of critical infrastructure capital in the country concerned.

We believe that a lot of hard earned assets of companies in the financial service sector - including banks (distressed and existing) - are stashed away in banks outside the shores of the respective nations and in breach of contracts or illegally.

Vision

By 2030, asset recovery rates will be so significantly improved, capital flight checked and assets repatriated that returns on stakeholder investments will have improved and the economies from which they originated stimulated.

Mission

An estimated £50 billion in 'dirty-money' is stashed in the UK each year. Against this threat, the UK National Audit Office estimates that only 26p out of every £100 is ever recovered.

Our mission is to redress the imbalance between assets stolen or lost in breach of contract and those recovered, by providing a very effective and global private solution to a massive public problem.
