Continuous monitoring of a named defendant's companies, directors, property, cross-border assets and financial position for the life of a dispute, with modular UK, international and settlement reporting scope.
A Pre-Litigation Investigation Pack or asset tracing exercise establishes a defendant's position at the point proceedings begin. Defendants facing litigation frequently restructure, dispose of assets, or wind down companies while proceedings are ongoing, and legal teams are usually not informed when any of this happens. Where a dispute has a cross-border dimension, or is moving toward settlement, that same gap extends to overseas assets and court filings the UK team cannot watch directly, and to shifts in a counterparty's financial position that change what a realistic settlement figure looks like.
Continuous monitoring of a named defendant's companies, directorships and asset activity, with modular scope extending to overseas assets and jurisdiction-specific developments, and to settlement-relevant changes in financial position, confirmed at the outset to match what your matter actually needs. Delivered as a monthly intelligence briefing with priority alerts issued directly when a material change is confirmed.
New or dissolved company interests and directorships
Property acquisitions and disposals
Insolvency filings and other court proceedings
Asset movements between connected parties
Modular international layer: overseas assets, company records, court filings and local regulatory changes in the relevant jurisdiction
Modular settlement layer: changes to financial position, asset disposals, and developments that materially affect settlement leverage
Continuous monitoring of corporate registries, property records and court filings, extended where instructed to overseas records through named in-country partners and to financial standing indicators relevant to settlement leverage, with every candidate finding verified by a named analyst before it is reported.
Yes. It is commonly continued past judgment where enforcement is anticipated, since defendants who expect to lose sometimes begin moving assets before judgment is even entered.
Findings are documented to an evidential standard suitable for supporting an urgent application, and priority alerts are designed with that timing need in mind.
Scope is modular and confirmed at the outset. Many matters start with the core UK layer, companies, directors, property and court filings, and add the international or settlement layer only where the dispute actually has that dimension.
Coverage is confirmed on your scoping call and is strongest in the Nigeria and West Africa corridor, where Greyline works through named in-country partners.
The one-off assessment is a single point-in-time picture of settlement prospects. The settlement layer of this subscription keeps that picture current for as long as negotiations continue, since a counterparty's position can change materially during that time.
Both track a subject's companies and assets over time using similar sources. This service applies once a dispute is tied to named proceedings, litigation, monitoring is scoped to the case timetable, and settlement reporting is available as part of it. Asset & Wealth Monitoring applies pre-litigation or where the focus is asset recovery rather than an active dispute. Where a matter moves from one context into the other, coverage can transition between the two capabilities without a gap.
Every enquiry is reviewed by an analyst and routed to a scoping call, a fixed fee is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
