In the private sector, we support solicitors, accountants, trustees, and financial institutions by locating vital documents and information needed to progress or resolve cases.
To help mitigate risk in estate administration, we also provide a suite of Legal Support and International Asset Services, including Overseas Bankruptcy Searches, Medallion Signature Guarantees, Missing Document Services, and Missing, Dormant & Unclaimed Asset Searches — helping professionals meet due diligence requirements with confidence.
Each year, we handle hundreds of pro bono cases: reuniting families separated by war or adoption and restoring treasured items such as lost war medals and family heirlooms.
