We excel at tracing assets, be that tracking stolen or fraudulently acquired goods right through the illicit supply chain, identifying the people and wider networks responsible, or identifying a range of assets from property to high-end jewellery and art that can be targeted in freezing order applications to help clients successfully recover funds taken by fraudulent means.
We keep ahead of the curve on new patterns and trends in criminal activity so that we know exactly where to look for critical intelligence, no matter how small or ‘covert’ it might be, and how to best capture it to maintain its evidential integrity in support of court proceedings.

Gleaning the evidence needed to move forward with an investigation or prosecution, or to generate and direct further lines of enquiry, tends to include drawing together information from a range of different sources to form a comprehensive picture.

The sources we tend to use include:
Starting from even the smallest amount of information, the tools we have at our disposal coupled with robust disclosure management and area-specific expertise enable us to build a comprehensive overview of a subject or group’s lifestyle and activities, and ultimately to help bring criminals to justice.
