Intelligence on a counterparty's true financial position and settlement leverage, before you decide what to accept or offer.
Settlement negotiations routinely happen without either side having a clear, verified picture of the other party's actual financial position, their real capacity to pay a judgment, their appetite to keep litigating, and any assets or business interests that shift the practical value of settling versus continuing to trial. This is strategic intelligence, an assessment of leverage and likely behaviour built specifically to inform a negotiation decision, rather than a simple record of what a counterparty owns. A settlement figure agreed without that intelligence risks leaving value on the table, or accepting terms that undersell what enforcement could actually achieve.
An intelligence assessment of a named counterparty's financial position, asset base, and litigation behaviour pattern, to inform what a realistic and well-founded settlement position looks like before you negotiate.
Financial position and known assets relevant to capacity to pay
Litigation history and pattern of settling versus defending to trial
Business interests and financial exposure beyond the immediate dispute
Cross-border assets or interests affecting enforcement leverage
A clear assessment of realistic settlement leverage on both sides
Corporate and property record analysis, court record research into the counterparty's litigation history and settlement pattern, and financial standing research, delivered in a format built to inform a negotiation strategy directly, with every finding verified by a named analyst.
The intelligence informs that decision, financial capacity, litigation pattern, enforcement prospects, but the ultimate negotiation strategy and figure remain a matter for you and your legal team.
No. This provides the factual, intelligence-led picture your legal team's strategy is built on, working alongside their advice rather than replacing it.
Yes, through our Defendant & Asset Monitoring subscription, which keeps a named counterparty's financial position and asset base current, with settlement reporting available as part of its scope where negotiations run over an extended period.
Where relevant, cross-border assets and interests are included, drawing on our wider cross-border capability where a counterparty's position extends outside the UK.
No. Asset visibility is one input, but this is a strategic assessment: financial capacity, litigation behaviour, and enforcement leverage, built specifically to inform whether and on what terms to settle, not a standing watch on asset movements.
Asset Recovery Intelligence is post-judgment, focused on enforcement. This is used earlier, during negotiation, to inform whether and on what terms to settle before judgment is even reached.
Every enquiry is reviewed by an analyst and routed to a scoping call, a fixed fee is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
