Join Our Team

Veritas Advisory Group engages lawyers and specialist professionals to participate in cases involving asset recovery and financial fraud investigation across European jurisdictions. The firm’s distributed team model requires qualified professionals in multiple countries who can conduct proceedings in national courts and authorities, engage with local regulators and financial institutions, and coordinate with the central team within a unified cross-border legal strategy. The firm is seeking professionals whose practice is focused on fraud, financial disputes, asset tracing, or regulatory enforcement – and who bring practical courtroom and investigative experience to complex, multi-jurisdictional recovery cases.

Who We Are Looking For

The firm recruits across several professional categories, each essential to the execution of fraud recovery proceedings in European jurisdictions. All positions require practical experience in fraud-related work – the firm does not engage professionals whose experience is limited to general commercial or advisory practice without direct fraud or dispute resolution involvement.

Litigation Lawyers and Advocates

Civil litigation and criminal law practitioners with rights of audience before courts in EU member states, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland who have practical experience working in courts and court-adjacent organisations. These professionals conduct civil claims for fraudulent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and breach of statutory obligations. They file and manage criminal complaints, represent clients in court hearings, and execute asset freezing applications. Direct courtroom experience in fraud-related proceedings is required.

Financial Investigation Specialists

Professionals with experience in financial crime investigation, transaction analysis, and evidence gathering for fraud cases. These specialists support litigation teams by analysing financial flows, identifying patterns of fraudulent conduct, and preparing investigative reports that meet the evidentiary standards required by courts and law enforcement authorities in the relevant jurisdiction.

Asset Tracing Experts

Specialists in identifying, locating, and documenting assets across jurisdictions – including analysis of corporate structures, property registers, bank account networks, and financial disclosures. Asset tracing results directly inform the legal strategy by determining where freezing orders should be applied, which entities should be named as defendants, and which jurisdictions offer the highest probability of effective enforcement and recovery.

AML/KYC and Compliance Specialists

Professionals with practical experience in anti-money laundering compliance, client due diligence, and regulatory frameworks including AMLD5 and AMLD6. These specialists ensure that every client engagement meets AML/KYC requirements and that case intake procedures are conducted in full compliance with applicable anti-money laundering legislation across all jurisdictions in which the firm operates.

Banking and Payment Institution Consultants

Specialists with experience engaging with banks, payment service providers, and financial institutions on fraud-related matters – including recall requests, unauthorised transaction claims under PSD2, account holder disclosure applications, and negotiation of frozen and confiscated fund releases. Practical familiarity with banking compliance departments and institutional procedures is essential for this role.

Candidate Requirements

All candidates must hold a relevant higher education qualification and demonstrate previous professional experience in the legal or financial investigation field. The firm evaluates candidates based on the following criteria: practical experience in cases involving fraud or financial disputes, direct participation in court proceedings or formal investigations, knowledge of the procedural and substantive law of the candidate’s jurisdiction, experience engaging with state authorities and financial institutions, and the ability to work on cross-border cases involving coordination across multiple jurisdictions. The firm prioritises demonstrated practical experience over theoretical knowledge. Candidates who have conducted fraud-related litigation, participated in financial crime investigations, or managed asset recovery proceedings in their jurisdiction are preferred over those with broader but less directly relevant legal backgrounds.

Collaboration Format

Veritas Advisory Group offers flexible engagement structures designed to accommodate professionals across different jurisdictions and practice contexts. Collaboration formats include participation in specific cases as local counsel, advocate, or consultant within the candidate’s national jurisdiction, management of individual procedures – court filings, regulatory complaints, asset freezing applications – within the national legal framework, and coordination with the central team under a unified legal strategy that governs the overall direction of each cross-border case.

Project-Based and Long-Term Engagement

Collaboration is available on both a project basis and a long-term engagement basis. Project-based engagement is suited to professionals who are engaged for specific cases or specific procedural stages within their jurisdiction. Long-term engagement is available for professionals in high-demand jurisdictions who handle a recurring volume of cases and maintain an ongoing working relationship with the central team. Both formats operate under the same professional standards, confidentiality requirements, and strategic coordination framework.

Responsibilities

Professionals engaged by Veritas Advisory Group are responsible for the preparation of procedural documents, legal opinions, and case assessments within their jurisdiction. They represent client interests before courts, court-adjacent organisations, state authorities, and regulatory bodies. They participate in the collection and analysis of evidence relevant to the case. They engage directly with banks, financial regulators, and law enforcement authorities as required by the recovery strategy. All work must be completed within established deadlines and in compliance with applicable procedural requirements. Each professional operates within a defined scope of responsibility for their jurisdiction, while contributing to the broader cross-border strategy managed by the central team. Communication between local counsel and the central team is regular and structured, ensuring that developments in one jurisdiction inform and support actions in others.

Professional Standards

All professionals engaged by Veritas Advisory Group are required to comply with the legislation and professional ethics standards applicable in their jurisdiction. Confidentiality of all client and case information must be maintained in accordance with GDPR for operations within the European Union and with applicable data protection legislation, including the Personal Data Protection Act, for matters involving Asian clients or data subjects. Conflict of interest checks are mandatory before any engagement is accepted. Professionals must disclose any existing relationships or involvements that could create a conflict with the client’s interests. Independence of legal position must be maintained throughout the engagement – the professional’s legal judgment and advice must not be influenced by considerations external to the client’s case and the applicable law.

Geography

Collaboration is available across all EU member states, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. The firm has particular demand for professionals in jurisdictions that are frequently involved in cross-border fraud proceedings, including but not limited to the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Estonia, Lithuania, and the Czech Republic. Candidates from other European countries are also considered where they demonstrate relevant practical experience in fraud and asset recovery matters. The group’s geographic scope reflects the reality of cross-border fraud – proceeds move through multiple jurisdictions, and effective recovery requires qualified professionals in each country where assets are held, defendants are domiciled, or pre-litigation and court proceedings need to be initiated. Expanding jurisdictional coverage is a continuous priority for Veritas Advisory Group as it enables the most effective response to fraud across borders.

How to Apply

Candidates should submit the following to careers@veritas-advisory-group.com: a CV specifying the candidate’s jurisdiction and area of specialisation, a description of relevant professional experience including case categories and types of proceedings handled, and information on rights of audience or professional accreditation where applicable. Applications are reviewed on the basis of demonstrated practical experience in fraud-related litigation, financial investigation, or asset recovery proceedings. The firm does not require candidates to have worked exclusively in fraud cases throughout their career. However, direct experience in at least one of the following areas is expected: fraud litigation, financial crime investigation, asset tracing, regulatory enforcement, or banking dispute resolution. Candidates whose experience is limited entirely to non-contentious or advisory work without fraud or dispute resolution involvement will not be considered.
