Documentation support / For U.S. counsel
Source-of-Funds Documentation Support
Connect a foreign investor’s source of capital to the records behind it.
I help U.S. attorneys organize foreign records into a source-of-funds narrative that can be examined, questioned, and traced back to the underlying documents. The assignment is defined around your matter and your team’s requirements.
When it can help
A defined task
A clear purpose
- An investor’s capital comes from a property sale, business proceeds, dividends, a loan, or several sources.
- Contracts, statements, and explanations exist in separate folders or jurisdictions.
- Your team needs a focused review of documentary consistency before completing its own legal assessment.
What you receive
A practical handover
An evidence index
Stable document references identifying issuers, dates, relevant parties, and the period or transaction addressed.
A transfer chronology
A record of the relevant payments, accounts, amounts, currencies, and supporting references within scope.
An issues register
Missing evidence, inconsistent amounts or dates, and factual or legal questions requiring follow-up.
Before work begins
Agree on the record
and the scope
A non-confidential description of the investment, relevant jurisdictions, sources, and timing is enough for the first conversation. After scope and confidentiality arrangements are agreed, the review may involve sale records, statements, corporate records, distribution documents, or other evidence relevant to that particular source.
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.
Professional scope
This service organizes and analyzes the agreed documentary record. It does not provide a blanket certification that funds are lawful or documents authentic, replace independent verification, or determine what a bank or government agency will accept. U.S. legal, tax, immigration, and sanctions conclusions remain with appropriately qualified professionals.
