About
Provided by Alvarez & Marsal
A&M’s team has been at the forefront of asset tracing for more than 20 years. We comb global public records (“OSINT”) and use human source intelligence (“HUMINT”) to identify and locate assets hidden in many jurisdictions across the world. We also search for asset information across litigation, administrative, and regulatory filings and the internet, including blogs, social networks, and specialized country-specific proprietary databases.
Our open-source searches typically include among other sources government databases, credit bureaus, corporate registries, news, and social media in the target country’s native language to identify the most critical information and incorporate the information into reports. The research incorporates both standard commercial data and obscure business relationships not found on standard databases or internet searches.
We build investigative teams around each case with support from our in-house experts around the world. Our team collaborates with diverse teams, including lawyers, insolvency practitioners, litigation funders, communication specialists, forensic accountants, and corporates.
Our team has searched for assets in connection with:
- Receiverships and monitorships
- Bankruptcies
- Ponzi schemes
- Frauds and corruption
- Litigation and disputes
- Settlement negotiations
- Pre-investment collateral assessments
