Prejudgment Attachment Investigation

Prejudgment attachment is a powerful tool to secure your client's recovery position — but it requires speed, precision and solid substantiation. The preliminary relief judge expects concrete assets that can be seized. We identify those attachable assets and deliver the report that supports your petition. From real estate and bank accounts to vehicles and corporate holdings: we ensure you go to court with the right information.

What we investigate

What do we identify?

We map out all attachable assets: real estate including mortgage encumbrances and value, banking relationships for third-party attachment, vehicles and vessels, corporate holdings and UBO structures, claims against third parties, and foreign assets. For each asset we provide the details the preliminary relief judge requires to grant leave.

When should you engage us?

Before filing the attachment petition as substantiation, when there are signs that the opposing party is dissipating or transferring assets, in international disputes involving cross-border assets, after a judgment when the opposing party does not pay voluntarily, and in substantial claims where attachment justifies the investment. In urgent cases we start the same day.

How does the investigation work?

Urgent intake

We discuss the claim, the urgency and the available information. In urgent cases we start the same day.

Investigation plan

We determine which registers and sources will be consulted, based on the attachment deadline and the claim.

Execution

Land registry searches, Chamber of Commerce research, OSINT and where necessary international asset investigations — on a priority basis.

Reporting

You receive a report as an appendix to your attachment petition, with the relevant details and source references per asset.
