An asset rarely disappears without trace - usually the owner, jurisdiction or method of control changes

Registrable and disclosable: companies and shareholdings, real estate, vehicles, aircraft and vessels, corporate rights, liens and publicly available property interests. The scope depends on the jurisdiction: in some countries registers are open, in others disclosure is limited.

Yes, international search is the standard engagement format. Each jurisdiction has its own registers, cost of access and legal limitations. The number of countries directly affects timeline and cost.

No. Closed bank accounts and their balances are not established - this is banking secrecy, accessible only through official legal procedures. We work with corporate, registry and open sources and do not promise what cannot be obtained lawfully.

Yes, and this is often how the asset is discovered. We check companies where the person held or holds roles, related parties, and the history of title transfers. Ownership through a legal entity does not conceal the object if the structure can be traced through registers.

By a combination of indicators: matching representatives and addresses, shared counterparties, the nature of transactions, retention of a managerial role. Such a conclusion is always presented as an analytical assessment, not as an established fact: legal qualification is given by a lawyer in the relevant country.

Yes, liens and known limitations are checked where they are disclosed. This matters for assessing prospects: an asset may exist but be encumbered to the point that recovery loses practical meaning.

Yes, the chronology of transfers is one of the key parts of the work. Particular attention is given to events that occurred immediately before a dispute, recovery action or bankruptcy. Legal assessment of such actions is given by the legal team.

The report serves as a basis for the legal team's decisions on where and how to act. It is not itself a procedural document and does not replace legal actions for seizure or enforcement.

The name of the person or company, known countries, the purpose of the search, and any information about assets you already have are sufficient. The more precise the initial data, the shorter the path to a result.

Asset Search usually takes 7-12 business days, international search - 15-30 business days. Complex structures involving trusts and multiple jurisdictions require a separate timeline assessment.

You receive a report on the jurisdictions, registers and related parties checked, indicating where disclosure is limited. The absence of findings is also a result: it helps avoid spending resources on recovery with no prospects. We will not present a supposition as a found asset.

Information about the client, the purpose of the search and the progress of the work is not disclosed. We do not contact the subject of the check or their circle, so as not to alert the party to the work being conducted.
