Who we act for

Assets to discuss when assessing an attachment
- Funds in bank accounts
- Real estate and land
- Company shares and individual salaries
- Cars, aircraft and vessels
- Business inventory and other valuable assets
Whether a particular asset can be attached depends on ownership, available evidence, exemptions and the applicable procedure. Identifying an asset does not guarantee permission to attach it or eventual recovery. Bring the underlying contract or claim, any judgment and the information you hold about the assets to a first discussion.
