A quiet firm built on difficult recoveries.
Ashcroft was founded in 2015 to give victims of financial crime a serious, well-resourced counterparty — one that combines forensic rigour with the discretion of a private-client practice.
Restore what was taken. Restore trust in the process.
We exist to give ordinary investors, family offices and businesses a credible path to recover funds lost to fraud — without predatory fees or false promises.
The recovery industry has a reputation problem. We were founded to be the counter-example: regulated, transparent, and answerable to the client on every case.
Principles we don't compromise.
Integrity
We only take cases we believe we can move. If we can't help, we say so on day one.
Discretion
Every engagement is handled under strict confidentiality with segregated case teams.
