The ability to locate a person is one of the most practically consequential capabilities in the legal profession — and one of the least discussed in polite legal circles. A personal injury lawsuit stalls because the defendant cannot be served. A probate matter cannot close because a beneficiary has not been located. A judgment sits uncollected because the judgment debtor has moved without leaving a forwarding address. An insurance investigation cannot proceed because a key witness has become unreachable. In each of these scenarios, the ability to find the person is the difference between a matter that resolves and a matter that languishes — and in the case of active litigation, between a client who achieves justice and one who does not.
Legal Hawary AI's skip tracing service brings enterprise-grade data intelligence to law firms and legal professionals at a structured, case-by-case engagement model. Our primary data sources are TLOxp (TransUnion's law enforcement and legal professional grade database) and IDI Core (one of the most comprehensive identity resolution platforms in the United States), supplemented by allied platforms for international and Egyptian subjects. These are not consumer-grade people-search tools. They are the same platforms used by licensed private investigators, federal law enforcement, and debt collection law firms — available to legal professionals through compliant access frameworks.
Legal and ethical compliance is foundational to everything we do in skip tracing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) place strict requirements on how consumer information may be accessed and used in debt collection contexts. Egyptian Law No. 151 of 2020 on Personal Data Protection creates obligations for data processing involving Egyptian individuals. Every skip tracing engagement is scoped with these constraints in mind: we document the permissible purpose, limit data access to what is required for the stated legal purpose, and provide the requesting attorney with clear guidance on how the located information may be used and disclosed.
The range of legal applications for skip tracing is broad. Process servers use skip tracing to locate defendants and witnesses for service of process — particularly in civil matters where defendants have evaded service in the first attempt. Debt collection attorneys use it to locate judgment debtors who have relocated after a judgment was entered. Estate attorneys use it to locate heirs and beneficiaries who must be notified of a probate proceeding. Insurance defense attorneys use it to locate witnesses and claimants. Family law attorneys sometimes need to locate a non-custodial parent for purposes of child support enforcement or custody proceedings.
For Egyptian legal matters, our skip tracing capability extends to Egyptian nationals using local data intelligence resources, social media analysis, and allied Egyptian data sources, subject to Egyptian data protection law requirements. This capability is particularly valuable for Egyptian firms handling debt collection, inheritance disputes, and family law matters where a party has relocated within Egypt or to a GCC country.
