An ownership and entity chart
Relevant persons and entities, the interests documented, and references to the ownership records available.
Documentation support / For U.S. counsel
See the parties, the relationships, and the route the money took.
A complex structure is easier to examine when ownership and payment movements are documented separately. I prepare factual charts and transaction records from the materials available, with the basis and limitations of each relationship visible.
When it can help
What you receive
Relevant persons and entities, the interests documented, and references to the ownership records available.
An organized view of the accounts used in the agreed funds trail and the evidence identifying their holders.
Sending and receiving events with amounts, currencies, dates, references, and any documented conversions or deductions.
Unclear connections, unsupported transaction descriptions, missing settlement records, and differences that need explanation.
Before work begins
Start with the transaction objective, parties known so far, and the structure or transfers your team needs to understand. The scoped review may require company records, ownership registers, account-holder evidence, sending and receiving statements, and documents explaining movements between parties.
Fees, the estimated timetable, document-transfer arrangements, and any agreed review or clarification rounds are defined before the engagement. Changes in document volume or complexity may require an updated scope.
A chart reflects the documentary evidence reviewed and any clearly identified assumptions. It is not an official beneficial-ownership filing, a sanctions clearance, or a conclusion about legal ownership or control under a particular law. Relevant legal characterization and any further investigation should be directed by counsel.
