Introduction
In today’s complex financial and corporate world, assets can easily be hidden, transferred, or misappropriated across borders. Whether due to fraud, insolvency, divorce, or commercial disputes, asset tracing and recovery require deep legal expertise and cross-jurisdictional tools. At Legal Morocco, we specialize in identifying, securing, and recovering such assets for our clients in Morocco and beyond.
What Is Asset Tracing?
Asset tracing is the process of locating assets that have been concealed, dissipated, or transferred unlawfully. It often involves:
- Investigating financial records
- Monitoring company structures
- Identifying shell entities or proxies
- Using legal mechanisms to trace ownership and control
This process is vital in fraud cases, debt recovery, or where claimants believe assets were moved to avoid payment.
Our Approach at Legal Morocco
At Legal Morocco, we offer a comprehensive approach:
1. Preliminary Investigation
We begin with a thorough investigation to assess the location, value, and legal status of the assets in question. This includes working with forensic accountants, private investigators, and financial analysts when necessary.
2. Legal Tools & Interim Measures
Once the assets are located, we act fast:
- Freezing orders (ordonnances de saisie conservatoire)
- Requests for judicial attachment (saisie-arrêt)
- Legal injunctions to prevent disposal or transfer
- Filing for asset disclosure via court
3. Cross-Border Support
Assets are often located outside Morocco. We collaborate with international partners to track down and secure assets abroad using legal cooperation treaties and court recognition procedures.
