Private intelligence for law firms.

Litigation and enforcement teams need intelligence that holds up — sourced, corroborated and documented to the standard the matter demands. We support law firms across the full lifecycle of a dispute: before proceedings begin, through enforcement, and into recovery.

For litigation & advisory practices

Intelligence to the standard your case requires.

Law firms instruct Umbragarde when the matter requires facts that are not in the public domain, or when open-source material needs to be assembled to an evidentiary standard rather than for internal background. That might mean tracing assets moved ahead of a judgment, mapping the beneficial ownership behind an opaque corporate structure, locating a witness or defendant who has become unavailable, or producing the due diligence on a counterparty that a client's own team cannot conduct without signalling interest.

We work across practice areas — disputes, fraud, enforcement, private client, corporate advisory — and we scope each instruction individually. Every engagement begins with a confidential brief. We confirm what can be found, what the output will look like, and how it will be delivered before work begins. There are no surprises in the final report.

Our findings come from open sources, lawful records and corroborated intelligence. We do not operate unlawfully, and we do not pass on material we cannot stand behind. What we deliver is work product your team can use, not a database export requiring further translation.

Where we help law firms

  • Freezing & enforcement — assets identified and documented with the transfer timeline that supports the application.
  • Beneficial ownership mapping — nominee layers, cross-border structures and ultimate controllers traced and presented clearly.
  • Witness & defendant location — discreet location for service, attendance or enforcement, conducted without alerting the subject.
  • Counterparty & advisory due diligence — background on the other side of a deal or dispute, produced to a standard the partner can stand behind.
Common questions

For law firms, answered.

Can your findings be used in litigation or to support a freezing application?

Yes. Every material finding is drawn from open sources and lawful records, corroborated and documented so it is usable by your team — not a list of suspicions, but work product that meets an evidentiary standard and can be delivered through a private, access-controlled channel to counsel.

Do you work with law firms on a matter-by-matter basis?

We do. Most of our law-firm relationships are matter-scoped and confidentially briefed at the outset. We scope each instruction individually, sign appropriate NDAs, and deliver through whatever channel the lead partner requires.
