Recognised as a preeminent law firm in the highly specialised field of asset tracing and recovery, Martin Kenney & Co (MKS) is a multi-jurisdictional investigative and litigation practice based in Road Town, Tortola in the British Virgin Islands (BVI).

Our lawyers concentrate on the representation of persons harmed by economic crime in a multi-jurisdictional setting. The firm uses a combination of traditional and extraordinary measures to gather, often on an emergency basis, evidence of serious forms of wrongdoing and to recover substantial value in many places concurrently.

Our lawyers also represent clients in building investigative models to solve a diverse set of extreme-fact problems caused by dishonest conduct. The firm employs a multi-disciplinary team of professionals and has a surge capacity which permits it to draw from an extensive network of lawyers, investigators, forensic accountants and psychologists across the world.
