Independent. Specialist. International  

Following value across borders.

F. Manous MCBai is an independent strategic advisory practice working across jurisdictions on complex matters involving illicit wealth, asset recovery, financial crime, capital, natural resources and governance.

We work where value, ownership and risk cross borders whether through financial institutions, corporate structures, investments, property, natural resources or digital assets.

Our purpose is to help clients understand where value has moved, identify the structures through which it is held or controlled, assess the risks surrounding it, and determine the appropriate path forward.

Based in London and connected to Africa, our work is international in scope, with particular knowledge of business and institutional environments across the continent.

Where matters require jurisdiction-specific legal or specialist expertise, we work with appropriate professional advisers and local specialists to develop capability around the requirements of each engagement.

Our Purpose

Find. Protect. Recover.

Find — understand where value has moved, how it has been structured and who controls it. 

Protect — identify risks to assets, capital and commercial interests. 

Recover — develop the appropriate strategy for preservation and recovery.
