Attorney & Litigation Support
When the Facts Matter
Successful litigation is often determined by facts, evidence and intelligence that are not immediately available to the legal team. Documents may be incomplete, witnesses may be difficult to locate, assets may be concealed, relationships between parties may not be apparent, and critical information may sit outside the court file, outside the pleadings and beyond the information available to the attorney at the outset of the matter.
Stealth Defence assists attorneys, advocates, insurers, corporate legal departments and private clients with discreet investigative support designed to uncover facts, identify evidence, locate witnesses, trace assets and develop intelligence relevant to litigation strategy.
Supporting Attorneys Through Every Stage of Litigation
Our role is not to provide legal advice. Our role is to assist legal teams in obtaining facts, evidence and intelligence that may strengthen their understanding of a matter and assist in advancing their client's interests.

Litigation Intelligence

- Evidence location and factual development.
- Corporate structure analysis.
Hidden Asset & Beneficial Ownership Investigations
In many disputes, the true ownership of assets, companies and commercial interests is not immediately apparent. Assets may be held through related entities, nominees, family members, trusts or complex corporate structures.
- Undisclosed assets.
- Beneficial ownership interests.
- Related entities.
- Director relationships.
- Corporate structures.
- Commercial interests.
- Asset dissipation indicators.
- Potential nominee arrangements.
Fraud Recovery & Asset Tracing
Where losses have been suffered through fraud, misrepresentation or unlawful conduct, identifying the movement of value is often critical. We assist legal teams in understanding where value may have moved, who may have benefited and what investigative avenues may remain available.
