What is litigation support and asset tracing?

Litigation support is investigative help for a legal matter — locating witnesses and defendants, facilitating process serving, gathering lawful evidence and examining devices the client owns. Asset tracing identifies what a person or company owns from official records such as ACRA, SLA and LTA, so lawyers and creditors can decide whether and how to enforce.

What we do

Litigation support, from witness location to cross-border investigation

Five specialist capabilities, one licensed team and one reporting standard. Choose one to see what’s involved.

Facts your legal team can stand on — located, verified and documented.

Investigative assistance for law firms and legal professionals: witness location, field enquiries, voluntary statements and court-ready documentation. Where relevant, lawful observation in public places helps test the other side’s account.

The right person, at the right place — ready for service.

We facilitate process serving; we do not serve court documents ourselves. For originating processes, summonses, statutory demands and other court documents, we help your solicitor or appointed process server reach the right person: locating hard-to-find parties, verifying a current address and when they are likely to be there, and coordinating the attempts. Our findings are documented by date, time and place to support an affidavit of service where required.

Commonly used for

Civil claimsStatutory demandsFamily matters
Investigator tracing a party’s current address from records before service
  • Locating evasive and hard-to-find parties
  • Address and routine verified before service
  • Coordination with your appointed process server
  • Documented findings to support affidavits of service

What the device remembers — lawfully recovered.

Forensic analysis conducted exclusively on devices where the client has lawful ownership or authorised access — company laptops, phones and storage media. We recover deleted files, examine devices, document digital fraud and analyse data breaches, preserving integrity for use in proceedings.

Commonly used for

  • Digital fraud documentation

When the trail leaves Singapore, it doesn’t go cold.

We extend investigations beyond Singapore through vetted, licensed partner agencies across Asia and beyond — with unified case management and one consolidated report from Ranger.

Know who — and what — you’re pursuing

The best time to investigate is before costs are incurred. We help you and your lawyer decide whether a claim is worth bringing, and against whom.

  1. Locate the defendantCurrent residential and business addresses verified in the field, so papers can actually be served.
  2. Asset snapshotA first look at directorships, property and vehicles from ACRA, SLA and LTA records — is there anything to recover?
  3. Witness identificationFinding the people who saw what happened and confirming they are willing to speak.
  4. Litigation historyCourt records showing prior judgments, bankruptcy or winding-up proceedings against the other side.

Singapore context

Asset tracing in Singapore: the lawful record trail

Singapore keeps good public records. Knowing which ones matter — and how to read them together — is where experience counts. Every finding is referenced back to its source.

Record availability varies by source and purpose, and some searches are chargeable. We’re not a law firm — your lawyer will advise on enforcement options under the Rules of Court.

How we work

How we work with your legal team

Clear instructions in, clear evidence out. You or your solicitors stay in control of the matter throughout.

  1. Matter brief

    A confidential call or meeting with you or your solicitors to understand the objective, the stage and any deadlines.

  2. Scope & quotation

    We confirm what is lawfully achievable, which sources and field work are needed, and give a written quotation.

  3. Investigation

    Licensed investigators work the sources and the field, with updates at the points you agree.

  4. Report & support

    An affidavit-ready report with indexed exhibits — and continued support as the matter progresses.

Within the law

Skip tracing & digital forensics — strictly within the law

Unlawfully obtained material can be excluded, and can expose your client to liability. These are the lines we hold on every matter.

What we do

  • Search lawful public and official records (ACRA, SLA, LTA, courts)
  • Observe and document in public or legally accessible places
  • Interview willing witnesses and record voluntary statements
  • Examine devices the client owns or is authorised to access
  • Facilitate process serving: locate the party and coordinate with the process server
  • Work through licensed partners overseas

What we will never do

  • Access bank, CPF or telco records without legal authority
  • Hack phones, email, cloud or social media accounts
  • Trespass, or use pretexts to obtain private data
  • Track a vehicle the client doesn’t own or lawfully control
  • Pressure, threaten or induce witnesses
  • Promise outcomes — admissibility is for the court
  • Serve court documents ourselves — we facilitate process serving

Relevant laws include the Private Security Industry Act, the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and the Computer Misuse Act. We’re not a law firm — speak to your lawyer about how they apply to your matter.

FAQ

Litigation support & asset tracing: common questions

More FAQs
What does litigation support from a private investigator involve in Singapore?

A licensed investigator gathers and documents the facts your legal team needs: locating defendants and witnesses, taking voluntary statements, facilitating process serving, tracing assets through official records, observing in public places and examining devices you lawfully own. Ranger prepares affidavit-ready reports with a clear chain of custody.

How does asset tracing work in Singapore?

We build a picture of a person’s or company’s assets from lawful sources — ACRA directorship and shareholding records, Singapore Land Authority property records, LTA vehicle records, court judgments and open-source intelligence — and verify it with field enquiries where useful. Findings are documented so your lawyer can decide on enforcement.

Can you find someone’s bank accounts or CPF balance?

No. We do not access private financial accounts, CPF or telco records without legal authority — doing so would be unlawful. We identify lawful indicators of assets and means. After judgment, your lawyer can advise on court processes that compel disclosure. We’re not a law firm, so please speak to your lawyer.

Do you serve court documents (process serving) in Singapore?

We facilitate process serving; we do not serve court documents ourselves. We locate the person to be served, verify their current address and when they are likely to be there, and coordinate with your solicitor’s appointed process server. Our findings are documented with the date, time and place to support an affidavit of service where required. If the person still can’t be found, this record helps your lawyer consider alternatives such as substituted service.

Will your evidence be accepted in court?

Admissibility is always for the court to decide. What we control is how evidence is gathered and kept: lawfully, time-stamped, with a documented chain of custody and a report written to be exhibited. Our investigators can support your legal team, including giving evidence where required.

Is digital forensics legal in Singapore?

Yes, when it is carried out on devices the client lawfully owns or is authorised to access — for example company laptops and phones. We recover deleted files, examine devices and document digital fraud or data breaches. We never access anyone else’s device or accounts; that could breach the Computer Misuse Act.

Can you trace a debtor or witness who has left Singapore?

Often, yes. We extend enquiries overseas through vetted, licensed partner agencies across Asia and beyond, with Ranger as your single point of contact and one consolidated report.

How much does litigation support or asset tracing cost?

It depends on scope: how many subjects and jurisdictions, which sources, whether field work is needed and the reporting standard required. After a confidential discussion we provide a written quotation before any work starts.
