Overview
What this involves
Our legal recovery team works with a global network of partner law firms to pursue fraudsters through civil and criminal proceedings. When blockchain forensics or investigation identifies where stolen funds are held, our legal team takes swift action to freeze and recover those assets.
We specialise in cross-border litigation, understanding that most fraud operates internationally. Our legal partners in the UK, US, EU, Asia, Middle East, and Africa allow us to pursue cases wherever fraudsters operate. We coordinate multi-jurisdictional actions simultaneously to maximise recovery prospects.
Our approach combines aggressive legal action with strategic settlement negotiation. Many fraud cases are resolved through settlement when fraudsters face the prospect of criminal prosecution and asset seizure. We leverage every legal tool available - freezing injunctions, disclosure orders, and third-party subpoenas - to build maximum pressure.
Every case is managed by a dedicated legal coordinator who liaises between you, our investigation team, and external legal partners. You receive regular updates and clear explanations of legal proceedings throughout the process.

FAQ
Common questions
Can you pursue fraudsters in other countries?
Yes. We have legal partners in 30+ countries and experience with cross-border litigation. We coordinate multi-jurisdictional actions to pursue fraudsters wherever they operate.
What if I can't afford upfront legal fees?
We work on a combination of modest upfront costs (to cover filing and coordination) and success-based fees. The majority of our fee is only payable if we recover your funds.
How do freezing orders work?
A freezing order (or Mareva injunction) prevents the fraudster from moving or dissipating assets while legal proceedings are ongoing. We can apply for these in many jurisdictions on an emergency basis.
What is the difference between civil and criminal action?
Criminal action is pursued by law enforcement and can result in prosecution. Civil action is pursued privately to recover your money directly. We often pursue both simultaneously for maximum impact.
How long does legal recovery take?
Typically 4-9 months, though simpler cases with cooperative exchanges can resolve in 2-3 months. Complex multi-jurisdictional cases may take 12+ months.
Will I need to appear in court?
In most cases, no. Our legal team handles proceedings on your behalf. Court appearances are rarely required, especially in settlement-focused cases.
