Precision and discretion in uncovering hidden assets.
Asset Investment Recovery BC
When money has been invested and not returned, the first question is whether there is anything to recover — and where it sits. Our asset work in BC supports investment recovery efforts by establishing what a person or business actually owns or controls, so you and your lawyer can judge whether recovery is worth pursuing before you spend more pursuing it.
Hidden Asset Investigation
A hidden asset investigation looks for what a disclosure leaves out: undisclosed real estate, vehicles and vessels, business interests held through others, and financial footprints that do not match a stated position. We research records and open sources methodically and document what we find — and what we cannot verify, we say so plainly.
Financial Asset Investigation
Our financial asset investigation work brings the strands together — property, corporate, and investment research presented as one clear picture of a subject’s asset position. Clients use it in family proceedings, debt and judgement matters, and business disputes, often alongside our investigations for lawyers and civil litigation support.
Who we help
Individuals, legal teams and organizations who need a clear picture of assets — for a settlement, a judgment, a negotiation, or a decision that depends on the full facts.
What we do
- Financial asset tracing
- Real estate asset searches
- Digital asset tracking
- Business-interest research
What you will understand afterwards
You will know what we found, what it is based on, and how it may affect your next step — whether that is a negotiation, a filing, or a decision you are weighing.
How we work
We start with a confidential consultation, agree a clear scope and approach with you before we begin, proceed discreetly while keeping you informed at every stage, and finish with a clear report of our findings and recommendations — plus follow-up to answer your questions. We conduct every service within applicable laws and professional standards in British Columbia. You can also read our frequently asked questions.
What we need from you
Just the outline to start: what you would like to understand, confirm, or accomplish, the general location involved, and how time-sensitive your matter is. When we speak, we will guide you on anything more specific we need.
What we will not ask for
We will not ask for passwords, financial account details, medical records, or unnecessary sensitive information. Please do not include them in the inquiry form.
