Asset Tracing
“Assets have been hidden, moved, or obscured. You need them found — and documented to a standard your solicitors can act on.”
Asset tracing locates and verifies what someone owns — property, vehicles, corporate holdings and beneficial interests — using lawful, documented sources. It is most often instructed ahead of litigation, or to support enforcement once a judgment has been obtained.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can you realistically locate?+
Property and land interests, vehicles, company holdings, directorships and beneficial ownership, drawn from lawful, documented sources. We are clear from the outset about what can and cannot be obtained lawfully.
Can you trace someone's bank account?+
Private financial data such as bank balances is not directly accessible without a lawful basis, and we do not obtain it unlawfully. We can build a financial picture from lawful sources and advise on the proper legal routes where appropriate.
Is asset tracing instructed before or after legal action?+
Both. A pre-litigation search helps you decide whether a claim is worth pursuing; post-judgment tracing supports enforcement once you have won.
