From tracing hacked bitcoin to recovering cyber fraud funds in a landmark civil case, our team has the experience to find and protect your global digital assets.

As co-founders of the Crypto Fraud and Asset Recovery (CFAAR) network, we get results fast by collaborating with its member law firms, barristers' chambers, asset recovery specialists and corporate intelligence professionals.

Our specialisms include complex blockchain analytics, litigation support, expert witness work, and the enforcement of judgements and arbitration awards.

Cyber incident response and digital investigations

Prevention is the first step to beating cyber events such as hacking and identity fraud.

We work with you to design, deploy and support robust digital defences and to ensure you’re up to date with evolving regulation and compliance.

In the event of a breach, you’re in expert hands, with 24/7 monitoring and global response to cybercrime, data loss, and regulatory investigations.

Economic consulting

How do you value a portfolio of digital assets, such as NFTs or cryptocurrencies, at an exact point in time to establish fraud damages? How much does a centralised exchange owe a client for breach of contract? We solve problems like these by assembling a team of experts tailored to each scenario.

We support regulators and companies in complying with emerging digital asset regulations. Our economists, accounting valuation specialists and cryptocurrency experts act as independent experts in legal disputes involving digital assets.

Financial crime

Anonymity, global reach, patchy regulation across jurisdictions and rapid change mean that digital assets are attractive vehicles for financial crime. Both specialist virtual asset providers and traditional financial institutions need to manage these risks carefully and cost-effectively as digital assets become more mainstream.

We use expert knowledge and innovative thinking to support new entrants and traditional financial institutions throughout the financial crime prevention lifecycle – from regulatory permissions and the design and set-up of proportionate systems and controls to gap analysis, issue resolution, file remediation and specialised due diligence services.

Restructuring and insolvency

Traditional restructuring and insolvency methods don't work for digital assets. For a decade, our team has developed the skills, experience and international presence to deal with the nuances of this emerging asset class.

We combine our restructuring and insolvency expertise to tailor support for corporates during times of stress and distress. Using our insight into this unique asset class, we track, recover and return digital assets through on-chain analytics and digital forensics.

Our expertise in orderly wind-downs recently saw us successfully distribute a portfolio of cryptoassets with an approximate value of USD 130 million to creditors, including a global customer base of approximately 250,000.

Regulation and compliance

How can your business prepare for upcoming FCA crypto regulation and ensure that you’re compliant with anti-money laundering and financial promotion rules?

Through our close work with regulators in the UK, the EU and other jurisdictions, we’ll provide you with a clear view of their expectations for effective and robust digital asset compliance.

We can help you operate with confidence in areas like governance, senior manager responsibilities, custody, conduct, prudential requirements, anti-money laundering, financial promotions and market abuse.
