Such investigations may be very important for obtaining information about assets owned by defendants and the value of those assets, given the tendency of potential defendants to conceal their assets, so as to evade lawsuits against them. However, these investigations are very sensitive and may put the investigators at risk of being subjected to criminal trial if they act in violation of the law. In this article, a lawyer from our firm explains how to properly conduct economic investigations.<\/p>\n
Our law firm, which has offices in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, specializes in writ of execution law<\/a> and in the various branches of civil law. We provide comprehensive legal assistance to individuals and businesses regarding issues such as representation of debtors before the courts and Writ of Execution registrars, requests to stop repossession or to have one asset repossessed in place of another, and so on.<\/p>\n What do you do when you wish to sue someone for various reasons (such as debt that they have accumulated<\/a> or damage that they have caused<\/a>, for example, due to a car accident<\/a> or environmental nuisance) but the person whom you wish to sue attempts to evade payment by concealing their true economic situation? This is a real problem for the plaintiff: They do not know how much money they can sue for, since the defendants’ true level of economic affluence and ability to actually pay the amounts sued for is unclear. In such cases, there is a real need to take preliminary action before filing a lawsuit. First and foremost, the plaintiff should conduct a private economic investigation that will clarify the value and assets of the defendant. As explained below, it is very important to involve a lawyer when conducting the investigation.<\/p>\n Potential defendants who hide their true economic situation have various ways of doing this, such as establishing fictitious companies (also known as front organizations<\/em>) to which they transfer money and assets that they own, or registering their own vehicles and assets in the name of friends or relatives. Some potential defendants open several bank accounts at various banks and branches (in Israel and abroad) to make it difficult for creditors to discover the full value of the assets. These are just a few ways in which potential defendants hide information about the full value of their assets.<\/p>\n
