Asset tracing in England involves locating hidden or misappropriated assets to satisfy a creditor’s claim. A solicitor in this field investigates financial records, bank accounts, and corporate structures, and coordinates with forensic accountants and investigators. They draft and apply for orders to disclose information, freeze funds, and trace assets domestically or abroad, then seek recovery through litigation or alternative remedies. The work centers on gathering admissible evidence and pursuing court-approved steps to recover and preserve assets.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The process hinges on using disclosure, fiduciary and freezing orders, and cross-border cooperation to locate and recover assets. It involves navigating Civil Procedure Rules, disclosure regimes, and the potential use of freezing or world-wide freezing orders, with due regard to regulatory and professional standards.
