Asset Search & Recovery
Soraya offers a comprehensive package of asset search services to corporations, law firms, bankers’ workout or restructuring departments, financial institutions and creditors’ committees, including the four points listed above.
As a world leader in asset search and recovery, Soraya has developed the unique capability to locate concealed or undisclosed assets hidden, including in international “safe havens.” We assist clients in recovering billions of dollars with investigative resources. Much of Soraya’s success has been due to our pioneering use of international legal remedies to maximize recovery.
What does an asset search cover?
While Soraya takes a bespoke approach to each assignment, our strategy is typically to develop a full financial profile on the subject by investigating the location and worth of all real property, personal property, interests in properties, business entities, stocks, bonds, accounts receivable, royalties, patents, and other valuable assets. Soraya also examines the assets of spouses and family members for possible transfers, corporations associated with the subject and the subject’s partners.
Additionally, Soraya leverages its considerable investigative network to help identify individuals or entities that can provide leads and directions to the discovery of hidden assets. Soraya often conducts a lifestyle analysis to determine how the target meets their current obligations and examines what business they are currently conducting.
Soraya’s confidential financial sources are available to develop additional intelligence on the subject(s) as may be required.
Soraya’s asset recovery division is unique as our resources are as strong internationally as they are within Africa. Soraya works with legal counsel who provide international experience and worldwide resources to assist in the freezing of assets for later collection. As part of Soraya’s on-going commitment to our clients, Soraya monitors changes in asset protection legislation throughout the world to ensure that clients are afforded every opportunity to recover assets to which they are entitled.
Judgment Collection
Where collection of a judgment is involved, Soraya works as a team with legal counsel to use our international experience and resources to assist in freezing assets for later collection.
