Arkus Advisory has acquired KRyS Global as part of the deliberate build-out of an offshore restructuring and advisory platform. The transaction is scheduled to take effect on 30 Jan. 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
The acquisition combines Arkus Advisory’s partner-led restructuring model with KRyS Global’s nearly two decades of offshore asset recovery, insolvency and fraud investigation expertise. Together, the firms form a unified, conflict-free offshore restructuring and advisory platform capable of managing large, sensitive and multi-jurisdictional matters with sustained senior involvement.
KRyS Global has been central to many of the region’s most demanding recovery and investigative matters, earning a reputation for sound judgment, persistence and results. Arkus Advisory provides the long-term institutional structure required to support that work, with continued investment in people, infrastructure and technology designed for continuity beyond individual engagements or partners.
Shared approach
This transaction reflects a shared approach to delivering restructuring, recovery and investigative work, and how specialist capabilities should be institutionalised over time.
Arkus Advisory was founded to build a partner-led, conflict-free platform capable of housing specialist firms and senior practitioners operating in complex, cross-border matters. KRyS Global built its reputation leading some of the most complex offshore fraud and insolvency cases, often spanning multiple jurisdictions and enforcement regimes.
The combination embeds deep institutional experience and proven offshore investigative and asset recovery capability into the Arkus Advisory platform while providing KRyS Global with a long-term structure supporting sustained investment, succession planning and continued delivery of high-stakes work.
As part of the transition, Kenneth Krys will remain engaged as a consultant, ensuring continuity of leadership and continued access to his expertise.
