Litigation Support
Lawyers involved in major civil litigation cases frequently
have a requirement to obtain more information about the full
circumstances of a case, including the backgrounds and business
interests of all the parties, and their financial assets. Much
of this information is difficult to acquire from public records,
particularly when an investigation is multi-jurisdiction or
involves offshore centres.
It is in these circumstances that lawyers working for one of
the parties concerned, which may be a bank, financial institution
or corporate client, need to use the services of a reputable,
experienced investigations firm with the capability to conduct
investigations throughout the world. Typically the information
most frequently required is:
- Identifying and locating of individuals
- Financial enquiries into companies and individuals in domestic
and off-shore jurisdictions
- Locating and valuing real estate property owned by individuals
throughout the world.
- Establishing the business interests owned by an individual
world-wide
- Establishing the business reputation and standing of individuals
- Identifying and locating potential witnesses and sources of
first-hand information
- Interviewing potential witnesses and securing background information
and affidavits
- Investigating off-shore Trusts of which an individual may
be a beneficiary
- Tracing the movement of financial assets world-wide.
- Obtaining company details and structures in any jurisdiction
- Investigating personal injury claims
- Information in support of Intellectual Property cases
- Information from "difficult" countries with poor internal
records, a culture of secrecy or a history of corruption
