Editors’ Introduction
With increasing connectivity across the globe, asset recovery is an area of practice that often requires parties to move swiftly across borders to locate, freeze and recover assets before they disappear beyond reach, now sometimes at the click of a mouse.

With increasing connectivity across the globe, asset recovery is an area of practice that often requires parties to move swiftly across borders to locate, freeze and recover assets before they disappear beyond reach, now sometimes at the click of a mouse. As the methods by which fraud is committed continue to evolve, driven by technological advances in artificial intelligence and cryptoassets, parties frequently have to creatively adapt traditional asset recovery tools to address new situations or to develop entirely new approaches. Cross-border cooperation and mutual understanding are therefore essential and often key to successful recovery in this day and age.
This publication thus comes at an opportune moment, combining commentary on emerging global trends with detailed Q&A chapters, addressing the legal and procedural tools available across 22 jurisdictions worldwide, from Asia to the Americas. It allows practitioners to quickly grasp the fundamentals in each of these jurisdictions, and enables them to readily appreciate what remedies might be available when a case they are handling touches on that particular jurisdiction. Through the Market Insight chapters, practitioners will learn about new advances and developments in asset recovery that can further enhance their toolkit.
We trust you will find this publication invaluable for your fraud and asset recovery practice. We thank each of our authors for taking the time to collaborate on this comprehensive guide to successful asset recovery.
