Your client has a claim or needs to enforce a judgment. Before strategy is set, you need a complete financial picture — property, liabilities, relationships, and whether assets are already moving.
A KeyNorth asset and background investigation maps real property, registered assets, business relationships, liabilities, potential sources of revenue and risks to satisfying your claim.
We examine public records, registration data, and open-source information to build a factual picture of your subject’s financial position, including patterns that don’t appear in any single record. The picture we build is more complete than what’s on the surface.
You receive written findings within a defined timeframe: direct enforcement targets, indirect intelligence, and flags for dissipation of assets or judgment proofing. The report is fact-based, ACFE-compliant, and written so your client can understand what it means, at a fixed fee with a defined scope.
Some of Canada’s largest law firms and most well-known organizations rely on KeyNorth to inform their litigation strategy.
