Asset Tracing
SFC provides asset tracing services to law firms and their clients globally.
We work with law firms and their clients both before and after arbitral and court proceedings. We develop and implement asset tracing strategies to identify and locate recoverable assets worldwide.
We specialize in tracing hard-to-find assets by disentangling complex ownership structures across jurisdictions. We use robust research methodologies and extensive local sources in onshore and offshore financial centres to uncover the clues that eventually lead to actual assets.
We always work in close conjunction with the lawyers involved to ensure that any asset we find is recoverable in the jurisdiction concerned. We have extensive experience in cross-border cases and have traced assets in all shapes and forms, from sailing boats and real estate properties to works of art and bank relationships.
