Private investigations
Crypto asset tracing and forensic analysis for private clients, delivered with a defined scope, an agreed cost and a written report you can act on.
Private matters differ from law enforcement matters mainly in what happens after the tracing. There is no production order, so the analysis has to be strong enough to support a civil application, a regulatory complaint or a commercial negotiation on its own.
We scope tightly and price before starting. Open-ended crypto investigations consume money without producing decisions, and a client who has spent their budget discovering that the trail ends at an uncooperative offshore platform has been badly served.
What this includes
- Asset location and tracing in fraud and misappropriation matters
- Analysis of disputed transfers in commercial and matrimonial disputes
- Corporate internal investigations involving digital assets
- Due diligence on counterparties with significant on-chain activity
- Expert reports for civil proceedings, and expert testimony where required
- Support to counsel in framing preservation and disclosure applications
How it runs
An initial assessment tells you whether the matter is worth pursuing before you commit to a full engagement. That assessment is deliberately honest about the likely ceiling. If the value has reached a jurisdiction or a service from which recovery is realistically hopeless, we would rather tell you that in week one than in month three.
What you receive
- A scoped proposal with a fixed fee before work begins
- An early assessment of what the trail is likely to support
- A written report suitable for use in proceedings
- Clear advice on what your realistic options are at the end of it
Worth knowing
We do not work on a contingency or commission basis, and we do not take a percentage of anything recovered. An expert whose fee depends on the conclusion is not an expert. It is also the structure used by nearly every crypto recovery scam operating in this market.
