Investigations and asset tracing for law firms

A law firm may need to clarify fraud affecting its clients or address misuse of its own identity. Baruch gathers physical and digital evidence and researches relationships and assets to support lawyers' analysis, with organised information for decisions on the investigation and subsequent action.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

From the situation to investigation deliverables.

See which facts need clarification, the relevant services and the deliverable associated with each one.

SITUATION 01

Fraudsters use the firm's name to charge clients

Clients receive messages containing lawyers' names, case details and requests for payment to release court-awarded funds. The firm needs to document the misuse of its identity, preserve messages and identify connections between profiles, documents and accounts reported by victims.

Related deliverables

  • A map of profiles, pages and incidents involving misuse of the firm's name, with records for referral to the relevant channels.

    Delivered throughBrand Protection
  • A report of examined communications and files, with a timeline, preserved evidence and connections identifiable from available sources.

Decision supported

Support client communications, platform requests and assessment of legal measures with organised evidence.

SITUATION 02

A client reports diversion and needs to locate assets

A company approaches the firm after identifying suspicious payments and transfers to third parties. Documents are scattered and beneficiaries remain unclear. The lawyers need a reconstruction of events and asset information to assess potential courses of action.

Related deliverables

  • A timeline and evidence matrix connecting documents, payments and involved parties, with outstanding questions.

    Delivered throughFraud Investigations
  • An asset dossier covering identified assets, flows and relationships, with sources and research limitations.

Decision supported

Support decisions on further enquiries and assessment of recovery measures by the lawyers responsible for the case.

Other signals worth investigating

  • Documents or receipts presented in a dispute showing signs of alteration or unverified origin.
  • Settlement or fee payment instructions changed by email without confirmation from the parties.

Illustrative situations, not client cases. Solutions and deliverables depend on the need, available information and agreed scope.
