Our Asset investigation and Litigation Support services are frequently tailored to clients’ needs and continually support the legal strategies of counsel and law firms.
In complex disputes, understanding an opponent’s financial position can be critical to determining how best to proceed. Through detailed investigative analysis of assets, property interests, corporate structures, business connections and associated individuals, C & L Investigations can bring essential information to light and provide clients with the intelligence and insight required to support both pre-enforcement and post-enforcement strategies.
Where litigation involves the dissipation or concealment of assets, substantial financial claims or difficulties in recovering an award or judgment, establishing what assets may be available can be an important part of developing an effective recovery strategy.
C & L Investigations has conducted and concluded extensive, complex and multi-jurisdictional asset investigations, including matters involving cross-border connections. Our experience enables us to support solicitors, counsel, businesses and private clients involved in commercial disputes, high-value claims and complex enforcement matters.
Our investigative approach combines detailed research, corporate intelligence, asset tracing and critical analysis to establish the wider picture. Where appropriate, our findings can assist legal advisers in considering further investigative or legal remedies and determining the most appropriate course of action.
Our investigators include professionals with LLB (Hons) qualifications and EDI Level 4 qualifications in investigations, supported by practical experience across complex investigative assignments. We have a strong understanding of the evidential and procedural considerations relevant to civil investigations and litigation support, including the Civil Evidence Act and the circumstances in which information obtained through investigative work may support applications such as Norwich Pharmacal Orders.
Whether you are investigating an opponent before proceedings, assessing assets before enforcement or attempting to identify assets following judgment, C & L Investigations can provide the intelligence needed to help you and your legal advisers make informed decisions.
