What Wealth Recovery Solicitors does

Wealth Recovery Solicitors Limited (WRS) is an SRA-regulated UK law firm headquartered in Manchester's Spinningfields financial district, founded in 2021 to recover funds for victims of investment scams, fraudulent brokerages and cryptocurrency fraud. The firm serves individual UK consumers — and selectively businesses and professional firms — who have lost money to investment fraud, clone-firm scams, romance scams, pension scams, property fraud, bank fraud and a broad range of internet and trading scams, with a particular specialisation in cryptocurrency-related losses.

The firm combines traditional SRA-regulated legal services with in-house blockchain forensic investigation capability, tracing digital assets across blockchains, wallets and exchanges to produce evidence used in recovery litigation, audits and compliance work. Its service catalogue spans scam and fraud recovery as the core offering, regulated broker recovery, online and trading scam recovery, bank fraud reimbursement claims, dedicated crypto trading loss recovery, professional negligence claims (including a niche septic-tank negligence practice), and commercial litigation. Supporting modules include crypto tracing for accountancy firms, insolvency practitioners and family law solicitors, plus a standalone crypto training course for professionals.

Commercially, WRS operates primarily on a no-win, no-fee contingent model for fraud and scam matters, which aligns incentives with victim clients and removes cost as a barrier to engagement. Non-contingent work (commercial litigation, professional negligence) is billed at hourly rates or fixed fees on monthly interim invoices, and training courses are sold as discrete professional services. Clients are acquired through the firm's SEO-optimised website, online claim forms, phone enquiries, content marketing and PR in outlets including The Guardian, ITV and The Times, and the firm is a member of the ETL Global international professional services network, which provides latent cross-border referral capacity. The firm has reported recovering over £66 million for more than 1,000 clients across the past three years, and holds a 4.8/5 Review Solicitors rating.
