Investigative Research & Human Intelligence
Our experts draw asset information from multiple sources including the full spectrum of publicly available information comprising media, internet, and social media; corporate registries; property records; tax and litigation filings; banking disclosures; regulatory filings; credit filings; customs data; aircraft and vessel tracking and ownership databases; company prospectuses; and information in proprietary and subscription databases.
Given the limitations and fragmented nature of the public record in many countries, our experts go beyond online resources, by ethically obtaining and leveraging information available on the ground on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis.
We utilize human sources to fill information gaps, corroborate data, and generate new leads. Along with a vast global network of discreet sources, we have extensive experience in identifying and approaching specific sources that have direct knowledge of the assets of a sovereign, company, or individual.
We apply the highest ethical standards, whilst ensuring evidence will withstand scrutiny by courts or tribunals. Our work product has been used in support of International Criminal Court (ICC), International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), Supreme Court of Canada (SCC), London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), and various commercial court claims around the globe, including providing underlying evidence, affidavits, and expert witness testimony.
