Who is Veritas Advisory Group? Veritas Advisory Group is a specialized fraud recovery firm. We represent individuals and businesses that have lost funds to financial fraud involving European counterparties, institutions, or jurisdictions. Our legal team operates directly in national courts, engages law enforcement and financial regulators, and coordinates simultaneous proceedings across multiple countries under a single recovery strategy. We do not practice general commercial law. Every lawyer, specialist, and internal process at Veritas Advisory Group is directed toward one outcome: recovering funds lost to fraud.
Veritas Advisory Group was established to address a specific and growing gap: financial fraud targeting individuals and businesses outside European borders, with no clear path to recovery through conventional legal channels. Cross-border fraud cases require simultaneous legal action in multiple jurisdictions before assets are moved, converted, or dissipated. That demands pre-established legal presence in each relevant country, direct institutional relationships with banks, payment processors, and regulators, and the procedural knowledge to meet jurisdiction-specific evidentiary standards. The firm was structured from the start around fraud litigation and asset recovery — not adapted from a general practice.
Each category of fraud involves distinct legal instruments and recovery pathways. Seven years of practice across all of them shapes how the firm approaches every new case.
Veritas Advisory Group recruits litigation lawyers, financial investigation specialists, asset tracing experts, AML/KYC compliance professionals, and banking and payment institution consultants. All roles require direct, demonstrable experience in fraud-related work. General commercial experience without fraud litigation or dispute involvement does not meet the firm’s requirements.
The firm operates across all EU member states, the UK, and Switzerland. Current demand is highest in the UK, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Estonia, Lithuania, and the Czech Republic. Candidates from any European jurisdiction with relevant fraud and asset recovery experience are considered.
Collaboration is available on a per-case basis or as an ongoing engagement. Per-case work suits specialists involved in specific proceedings or procedural stages within their jurisdiction. Ongoing engagement is available for professionals in high-demand jurisdictions handling a consistent volume of fraud recovery matters.

In each jurisdiction where proceedings are initiated, a qualified local lawyer with direct court access conducts national-level proceedings — filing civil claims, submitting criminal complaints, engaging local regulators, and executing asset freeze applications within the procedural rules and institutional expectations of their jurisdiction. A central team manages the overall case strategy, ensuring that actions taken across countries are timed, coordinated, and mutually reinforcing.
Civil and Criminal Litigation Litigators handle civil claims for fraudulent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and breach of statutory duty across EU, UK, and Swiss courts. Where facts support it, criminal complaints are filed in parallel — unlocking document production orders, account disclosure, and cross-border judicial cooperation unavailable through civil proceedings alone.
Asset Tracing and Freezing Asset tracing specialists analyze transaction records, corporate structures, property registries, and financial statements across jurisdictions to identify where funds have moved. Those findings determine where to apply for asset freeze orders — including the European Account Preservation Order (EAPO) under Regulation (EU) No 655/2014 — and where enforcement is most likely to succeed.
Banking and Regulatory Engagement The team submits recall requests, PSD2 unauthorized transaction claims, and account disclosure applications to banks and payment service providers through established procedural channels. Regulatory complaints are filed with financial supervisory authorities where institutional failures contributed to the fraud or obstructed recovery.
Financial Investigations Financial investigation specialists support litigation teams by analyzing transaction flows, identifying patterns of fraudulent conduct, and preparing investigative reports that meet the evidentiary standards required by courts and law enforcement in each jurisdiction.
Lawful methods only. All evidence is obtained through court orders, regulatory requests, and statutory disclosure procedures. The firm does not use, commission, or rely on evidence obtained through unlawful means, regardless of the circumstances of the fraud.
Mandatory AML/KYC screening. Every client and case is screened under AMLD5 (Directive 2018/843/EU) and AMLD6 (Directive 2018/1673/EU). Cases involving assets of unlawful origin or conduct that breaches anti-money laundering law are declined — regardless of claim value or client profile.
Conflict-of-interest checks before every engagement. The firm verifies that no existing client relationships, case involvement, or institutional connections create a conflict with the prospective client’s interests. If a conflict is identified, the engagement is declined. No jurisdictional separation allows the firm to represent opposing interests across different countries within the same case.
Evidence-based legal strategy. A preliminary case assessment is conducted before any proceedings begin, analyzing the evidentiary basis, applicable legal mechanisms, identifiability of respondents, and realistic recovery prospects. Cases without sound legal grounds for recovery are declined.
GDPR compliance across all EU operations. All processing of personal data — client data, counterparty information, and third-party data involved in proceedings — complies with GDPR principles: lawfulness, purpose limitation, data minimization, and storage limitation. For clients based in Asia, the firm applies applicable national data protection law, including Personal Data Protection Act requirements in relevant jurisdictions.
Full client transparency. Clients are informed of the legal grounds for their claim, the procedural requirements they must meet, applicable evidentiary standards, and any limitation periods affecting their position. Legal risks and possible outcomes are communicated clearly. The firm does not guarantee results where no objective basis for such a guarantee exists.
Veritas Advisory Group has a confirmed practical track record in fraud recovery. The group has been active for over 7 years, has helped recover funds in more than 100 cases, and maintains a team of over 50 in-house and external legal professionals and specialists. The firm handles cases for both private individuals who lost personal savings and corporate entities that suffered losses through fraudulent counterparties, investment schemes, or compromised transactions.
The firm’s practice is focused exclusively on fraud-related matters and the subsequent recovery of misappropriated funds. This narrow specialisation ensures that every case benefits from accumulated expertise across the full spectrum of fraud types encountered in European jurisdictions. Areas of practice include investment fraud, cryptocurrency and blockchain fraud, forex and online trading fraud, real estate fraud, international trade fraud, business acquisition fraud, internet fraud and cybercrime, romance fraud and social engineering, banking and payment fraud, residence permit and immigration fraud, and intellectual property fraud.
Each fraud type involves distinct legal instruments, jurisdictional considerations, and recovery pathways. The firm’s experience across all these categories allows it to identify the optimal combination of civil, criminal, and regulatory mechanisms for each individual case.
Veritas Advisory Group provides comprehensive legal support at every stage of the fund recovery process. Services include pre-payment due diligence for clients seeking to verify counterparties before committing funds, preparation and filing of pre-litigation demand letters, initiation and management of court proceedings, preparation and submission of criminal complaints to law enforcement authorities, representation before financial regulators, engagement with banks, payment institutions, and intermediaries, initiation of asset freezing measures including interim relief applications, asset tracing and identification of recovery sources, and coordination of legal actions across multiple jurisdictions.
This full-cycle approach means the client receives a single point of coordination for all legal, regulatory, and investigative actions required to pursue recovery – regardless of how many countries, institutions, or legal proceedings are involved.
The firm participates in judicial and investigative proceedings across European states. Veritas Advisory Group engages directly with national courts across EU member states, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, with police and prosecution authorities, with financial supervisory bodies and regulators, and with banks and payment service providers. The firm’s cross-border practice includes participation in transnational investigations involving multiple states, coordinated through a unified legal strategy managed centrally but executed locally in each relevant jurisdiction.
The distributed team model ensures that each jurisdiction is covered by professionals who understand local procedural requirements, court practices, regulatory frameworks, and institutional relationships. This is not outsourced or referred work – it is coordinated legal representation delivered by specialists embedded in each country, operating under a single strategic direction.
Every case follows a structured legal approach designed to maximise recovery probability and minimise time to outcome. The process begins with an initial case analysis and assessment of recovery prospects. This is followed by collection and analysis of evidentiary and transactional data. A legal strategy is then developed – civil, criminal, or combined – based on the specific circumstances of the case. Legal actions are executed and coordinated with competent authorities. The client’s interests are represented through to the enforcement stage of court decisions.
This methodology applies equally to straightforward single-jurisdiction cases and to complex multi-country proceedings involving multiple defendants, financial institutions, and regulatory bodies.
Cross-border fraud recovery is the firm’s defining capability. Fraudsters operating in Europe routinely move funds across multiple jurisdictions to obstruct recovery. Veritas Advisory Group addresses this directly through its distributed team of specialists located in different European countries, local legal representation in each relevant jurisdiction, coordination of cross-border proceedings within a unified strategy, and engagement with state authorities in compliance with local procedural requirements.
This structure enables the firm to file criminal complaints, initiate civil proceedings, apply for asset freezing orders, and engage with financial regulators in multiple countries simultaneously – closing the gaps that fraudsters rely on when moving assets between jurisdictions.
Veritas Advisory Group represents private investors who lost funds through fraudulent schemes, corporate clients that suffered losses through fraudulent counterparties or compromised transactions, and companies engaged in international trade and investment activity that require recovery of misappropriated assets. The firm’s client base includes individuals and businesses located in Asia, the Middle East, and other regions outside Europe who require professional legal representation within European jurisdictions to pursue recovery against European-based fraudsters, institutions, or intermediaries.
The firm’s value proposition is built on narrow specialisation and practical execution in fraud recovery. Veritas Advisory Group offers a free initial case assessment at no cost or commitment, specialist expertise in fraud and asset recovery matters, proven experience in cross-border litigation and investigations, deployment of both civil and criminal legal mechanisms in parallel, and practical experience engaging with financial institutions and regulators across multiple European jurisdictions.
The name Veritas Advisory Group derives from the Latin term Veritas, meaning “truth.” The word has been central to legal doctrine and judicial practice since the classical period of Latin literature in the 1st century BCE and remains actively used in legal terminology today. The name reflects the firm’s approach: legal precision and systematic analysis, a focus on establishing factual circumstances and evidence, and the central role of verified information in fraud recovery proceedings. In fraud cases, the recovery of funds begins with the recovery of facts. That principle defines how Veritas Advisory Group operates.
