Locate people to be interviewed, served or investigated

Many of our investigative assignments begin by locating someone that our litigator-client needs to have interviewed, served or investigated. We locate people all over the world.

Many of the litigators exhaust their in-house resources before turning to us. We are used to the tough ones, finding people who, for example:

• Disappeared long ago;
• Have common names; or
• Don't want to be found.

After finding thousands of people over many years, we recently created a Locating For Litigators unit in our New York office to provide our clients with cost and speed advantages based on the standard approach we have developed.

Here is one example of our Locating For Litigators work:

Our assignment was to find the officer of a small trust whose signature on a trust document was at the center of a securities-trading dispute and an investigation by securities regulators.

The law firm that hired us had been frustrated in its own efforts to locate the man because he had a common name.

We discovered he had been an officer of a public company years ago, and (in less than a day) found him by using information—his middle initial and age—gleaned from SEC filings archived in the 1970s.
