OnTrial
For Bankruptcy Trustees

Asset recovery for the estate.

OnTrial supports Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 trustees and recovery counsel with undisclosed-asset identification, fraudulent transfer investigation, cryptocurrency tracing, 2004 examination preparation, and adversary proceeding investigation.

For matters where the schedules don't match the public record and the recoverable estate is larger than it looks.

The work

Where the estate's real value gets found.

  • Undisclosed asset identification

    Real estate, financial accounts, vehicles, vessels, business interests, judgments, liens — surfaced when the debtor's schedules don't match the public record.

  • Cryptocurrency tracing

    On-chain wallet attribution and global exchange exposure on the debtor and known affiliates. Frequently the asset class missed entirely in Schedules and the Statement of Financial Affairs.

  • Fraudulent transfer investigation

    Documenting the transfer trail — recipients, timing, consideration, and badges of fraud — for both intentional and constructive fraudulent transfer adversary proceedings.

  • Insider & affiliate diligence

    Beneficial-ownership mapping for shell structures used to receive transferred assets. Background workups on insiders, family members, and recipient entities.

  • Lifestyle & geolocation

    Pattern-of-life analysis when the debtor's reported financial position is inconsistent with documented lifestyle — used to support exemption-planning challenges and undervaluation arguments.

  • Debtor background workups

    Prior litigation, prior bankruptcies, prior business interests, related-party history — for context the schedules don't provide.
