When creditors have been unable to collect money from a debtor and are thinking about taking further legal action, asset tracing can be used to determine the debtor’s worth.

Costly litigation can be a waste of time and money even if a court enforces a debt if the debtor is unable to pay it back.

However, many debtors will try to conceal their assets from the court and creditors. They may say they have no assets or money, but in reality, they may have assets held in a network of tax havens, trusts, and fictitious businesses, or they may have assets offshore.

Asset tracing is a specialized field, and TRW civil litigation solicitors have a great deal of expertise doing it for clients who want to enforce a debt.

In addition to having in-house specialists that can offer advice on banking and investment legislation, TRW can provide asset tracing advice in both local and foreign enforcement matters.

TRW has productive sections in the majority of legal fields that can be pertinent to a specific asset tracing case, such as criminal law, family law, property law, and commercial law. Our civil litigation attorneys can also provide advice on asset tracing in the following areas:

• Bankruptcy & Insolvency
• Claims for criminal injuries and commercial law
• Conflicts between directors and shareholders
• Fraud;
• Personal injury claims;
• Family law (such as divorce);
• Property 
• Probate and wills.

Asset tracking occasionally involves a debtor who may also be hiding their identity, as is the case with offshore businesses.

In addition to offering a comprehensive evaluation of any monetary and tangible assets possessed that can be utilized to pay off the outstanding debt, TRW can take action to verify the identification of a debtor, whether they are an individual or a director of a business.

Individuals, SMEs, and large corporations can all benefit from our specialized asset tracking services. TRW offers low fixed pricing for asset tracing services whenever feasible.

Our Services for Debt Recovery

Depending on the sums owed, the delays, and your plans for future business dealings with your debtor, the TRW Law Firm  Group can offer advice on the best course of action for recovering your debts.

Among the possible solutions are:

• sending official notices of Letters Before Action. In situations where a direct approach is more likely to be successful, this correspondence frequently succeeds in obtaining money and avoiding court fees.
• A subsequent action is District Court Claims if a letter does not result in prompt payment. To assist you in determining if the claim and recovery expenses are reasonable given your outstanding obligations, our staff will provide you with advice on their worth.
• The last step, enforcement, entails maintaining the court decision that was rendered in your favor. You can choose from a variety of enforcement strategies based on your preferences and the type of debt.

Recovery from bad debt is a complex situation that needs to be tailored to your company.

For instance, we might be able to provide a mutually advantageous repayment plan with guarantees to shield your company from potential bad debts if a borrower is unable to repay debts but complies with court orders and agrees to pay.
Legal Guidance to Lower the Risk of Bad Debt

The TRW Law Firm  Group, a group of top global attorneys, provides our customers with customized advice to address the root causes of bad debt and reduce risks.

Prevention can save a lot of money and protect your company’s cash flow from the possibility that customers will end up in a poor debt situation.

In the event of future late payments, internal controls like automated debt collections, digitalized credit applications, profile evaluation, and credit referencing may offer ways to lower the expenses of a legal debt recovery procedure.
Another important consideration is the company’s reputation. We strongly advise hiring a qualified professional attorney to make sure your debt collection is handled legally and suitably, demonstrating the urgency of collecting past-due payments while maintaining a professional image that reflects your company’s values.
