The Mintz Group is a global investigative firm that helps clients before relationships, during disputes and after frauds.
We specialize in tracing assets around the world, and we have helped creditors enforce judgments in hundreds of cases over the past 23 years.
When individuals, companies or governments owe our clients money, we find the debtors’ assets.
And early in business relationships, we help our clients test, rather than blindly rely on, other parties’ representations about their financial condition.
Our asset-tracing cases are invariably multi-layered, frequently cross-border, and often in offshore jurisdictions.
