Six disciplines built for distressed situations.
Each service is engaged independently or in combination. All work product is court-ready, integrity-hashed, and source-cited.
Record Extraction
Document extraction converts unstructured filings, scanned exhibits, and legacy financial records into structured, searchable, court-ready data. Engaged when a debtor's records arrive as a mixed archive — PDFs, image-only scans, mainframe exports, password-protected files, abandoned accounting backups — and counsel needs the contents in a usable form before a deadline.
- ›Document production received in image-only or encrypted form
- ›Schedules A/B and SOFA preparation under time pressure
- ›Pre-§341 meeting record assembly
- ›Subpoenaed records arrive in unsupported formats
- ·Searchable, indexed corpus with line-item extraction
- ·Per-document SHA-256 integrity manifest
- ·Entity, date, and amount extraction layer
- ·Export to CSV/XLSX/JSON or counsel's review platform
Transaction Tracing
Transaction tracing reconstructs fund flows across bank accounts, intercompany ledgers, and related-party transfers — surfacing §547 preference payments, §548 fraudulent transfers, voidable transactions, and insider activity within the preference period. Output is structured for use in avoidance actions, expert declarations, and clawback litigation.
- ›Preference period analysis (90-day / 1-year insider window)
- ›Suspected fraudulent conveyance or transfer to insiders
- ›Receiver or trustee fund-tracing mandate
- ›Litigation requires expert flow reconstruction
- ·Directed graph of fund flows with timestamps and counterparties
- ·Preference and fraudulent-transfer candidate schedules
- ·Insider transaction summary
- ·Source-cited workpapers ready for expert declaration
Entity Mapping
Entity mapping reconstructs ownership structures and related-party networks from corporate filings, board minutes, contracts, correspondence, and public records. Used to identify undisclosed insiders, shell entities holding diverted assets, and control relationships material to schedules, disclosure statements, and adversary proceedings.
- ›Suspected undisclosed insider relationships
- ›Hidden-asset investigation in receivership
- ›Disclosure statement preparation in complex Chapter 11
- ›Adversary proceeding requires control-relationship proof
- ·Visual ownership and control graph
- ·Insider and affiliate inventory with source citations
- ·Shell entity and beneficial owner summary
- ·Court-ready exhibits
Data Recovery
Recovery of deleted, corrupted, password-protected, or otherwise inaccessible records — from QuickBooks files, accounting databases, abandoned cloud tenants, encrypted drives, and legacy ERP exports. Chain of custody and integrity hashing maintained throughout for evidentiary use.
- ›Debtor's books and records were 'lost' or 'destroyed'
- ›Encrypted or password-protected files received in production
- ›Cloud accounting tenant cancelled with data inside
- ›Legacy systems requiring format conversion
- ·Recovered records with chain-of-custody documentation
- ·Integrity hash manifest (SHA-256)
- ·Forensic image and recovery report
- ·Counsel-ready preservation memo
Timeline Reconstruction
Timeline reconstruction synthesizes events from bank statements, emails, board minutes, court filings, and operational records into a single chronological narrative. Used in fraud investigations, badges-of-fraud analysis, and to anchor expert testimony in a defensible sequence of events.
- ›Badges-of-fraud analysis required
- ›Cause-of-action narrative for adversary complaint
- ›Expert witness testimony preparation
- ›Insurance bad-faith or D&O litigation
- ·Chronological event log with source documents linked
- ·Filterable timeline by actor, event type, or counterparty
- ·Narrative summary for expert report or brief
Expert Reporting
Production of forensic reports, expert declarations, and supporting exhibits formatted for court submission. Reports include methodology, evidence trail, findings, and source citations sufficient for cross-examination. Engaged by counsel for adversary proceedings, contested confirmation hearings, and avoidance litigation.
- ›Expert declaration required for motion practice
- ›Avoidance action requires findings of fact
- ›Contested confirmation or claim objection
- ›D&O or fiduciary breach litigation
- ·Expert report with methodology and findings
- ·Declaration and supporting exhibits
- ·Workpaper index with source documents
- ·Deposition preparation materials
