Asset Tracing — map out assets before you litigate

Asset Tracing — map out assets before you litigate

A judgment is worthless if there is nothing to recover. We map out the assets of your debtor or opposing party — so you know whether litigation is worthwhile and where you can seize assets.

Asset Tracing

Litigation costs time and money. Before making that investment, you want to know whether there will actually be something to recover at the end. An asset tracing investigation maps out the assets of your debtor or opposing party — from real estate and vehicles to corporate holdings and foreign assets. With our findings you can make a well-informed decision: proceed, settle or let the matter rest. Moreover, we deliver the substantiation you need for a potential attachment petition.

What we investigate

What do we map out?

We investigate the complete asset profile of your opposing party: real estate domestically and internationally, corporate holdings and UBO structures, vehicles and valuable movable property, banking relationships and financial profile, and foreign assets via our international network. All findings are verified through multiple sources.

When is this relevant?

An asset tracing investigation is valuable before proceedings to determine whether litigation is economically justified, as substantiation for an attachment petition, after a judgment when the opposing party does not pay voluntarily, in debt collection matters to assess recoverability, and in divorce or division cases to uncover hidden assets.
