Your matter depends on finding the right person. KeyNorth conducts fixed fee location investigations for litigation and estate matters across Canada.
A KeyNorth location investigation begins with verification of personal particulars and proceeds to investigative research to establish your subject’s current whereabouts.
Where the matter calls for it, interviews of neighbours and known associates can be arranged as part of the engagement. Every step of the search is documented.
You receive written findings within a defined timeframe*: what was searched, what was found, and what the evidence supports. A thorough, documented record regardless of outcome.
Some of Canada’s largest law firms and most well-known organizations have relied on KeyNorth to locate individuals when it mattered most.
Fixed or range-based fee established before work begins. No open-ended retainer.
Fully documented regardless of outcome. Written findings support next steps, including any court applications required.
Standard investigations complete in 5–7 business days*. Complex or large matters are scoped and quoted separately.
Two decades of forensic investigations. Trusted by some of Canada’s largest law firms and most well-known organizations.
A judgment debtor who cannot be located cannot be served, and a claim that cannot be served cannot proceed. When an estate lawyer needs to find a beneficiary with no known contact, the search determines whether the estate can be settled.
KeyNorth has located hundreds of judgment debtors for financial institutions and their counsel, and supported their recovery efforts. The search is thorough, the findings are documented, and the report has value whether or not the subject is found.
Know your subject’s financial picture before you proceed. Fixed fee, written findings, and a defined timeframe.
We develop a structured investigation plan with defined milestones and findings that inform your strategy as it unfolds.
Independent, methodical, and fair investigations supported by practical advice for employers and counsel managing sensitive matters.
Send a brief outline of the file, and we will set up an initial call at no cost. We use the first conversation to understand the matter, understand the scope and the sensitivities and confirm whether KeyNorth is the right firm for the work. Scope and fee follow from there.
