It would also be worth contacting the domain registrar, as they may have some sort of process to request a change of account (or something along those lines).
If they do have such a process then I imagine you'll probably need to provide all documentation to prove your client *should* be the owner of that domain. Receipts of payment for the domain service. Any emails between your client and the web company regarding *who the domain is for*. You can probably also argue the above points if they didn't fill in the WHOIS record correctly. Best of luck. Let us know how you get on.
