A most powerful, underutilized and virtually free asset tracing and recovery investigative weapon lies at the fingertips of every person who seeks vital information in asset recovery cases. Few people know that the World Wide Web has tens of billions of records and images that are not accessible by Google, Bing and other search engines. What the search engines provide is just the tip of the iceberg. Learning how to mine the full expanse of the Web, including its “Historical” and “Invisible” parts, should be an indispensable skill in all asset recovery teams. This presentation by Jim Richards, which always gets rave reviews from attendees at our conferences, is worth the price of admission.

Speaker: Jim Richards
Moderator: Cynthia Hetherington

The equitable powers of a court can put almost on par with government weapons the asset recovery tools that private sector specialists have. These powers are based on the principle that "Where there's a wrong there's a remedy, if you come with clean hands." While prosecutors and law enforcement agents have grand juries, badges and other tools, private sector asset recovery teams have potent weapons that rest with a court of equity. A court can compel disclosure, rewrite contracts, transfer property, require document examinations, and other things. Do you want to bring a proceeding against a fraudster for the wrongful detention of assets? Do you want an order freezing assets to prevent dissipation? Ask for it. In this panel, top experts will show you how to get and use these weapons, how to construct and execute effective civil search warrants, break and search orders, gag and seal orders and other potent tools.
