REPORT COMPONENTS

Real-time support for your ongoing proceedings

Bearstone has extensive experience of the legal and practical issues associated with enforcement and collection of assets across jurisdictions and legal regimes. Research aspects which can prove pivotal include:

Asset Profiling

Establish legal and beneficial ownership of real estate, vehicles, international equity holdings, and more.

Corporate Records Data

Corporate network mapping identifies companies with indirect connections to investigative targets, and offshore corporate repositories for hidden assets.

Public Profiling

Media reporting provides leads to assets owned by high-profile investigative targets. Social media analysis may uncover photographs of properties, or family members who hold assets on behalf of investigative targets.

Involvement in Litigation

Prior legal proceedings can help establish behavioural precedents, while ongoing litigation may identify parallel claims over assets belonging to counterparties.

Financial Data

Credit reference data, involvement in bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, and international corporate financial disclosures can help determine whether actions will be enforceable.

Surveillance

Our network of local assets can conduct covert surveillance on case parties or involved persons in the majority of worldwide locations.

Bespoke Research

Searches for specific assets or information not identified under other research components may be conducted, typically as a subsequent phase of research.
