Common questions

What partners ask before instructing.

Anything not covered here is answered directly on the introductory call, under NDA.

Will this evidence survive cross-examination?

Yes — that is the design constraint. Methodology is aligned to industry-standard chain-analysis practice, every input is captured under documented chain of custody, and the analyst delivering the work is available for deposition, expert-witness presentation and cross-examination on the matter.

How are conflicts handled?

Conflicts are cleared within 24 hours of an enquiry. We accept matters by referral, direct enquiry or through chambers, and we will decline any engagement where a conflict exists at counterparty, instructing-firm or rights-holder level.

Is the engagement confidential?

Always. Every matter is handled under NDA and matter-specific engagement letter. Work product is owned by the instructing firm. We do not disclose client identities and we do not retain materials beyond what is required to maintain chain of custody.

How predictable is the fee?

Fixed scope, fixed fee. The first deliverable is a scoping note suitable for inclusion in a client proposal or budget sign-off — so the fee is known before the substantive work begins. We do not bill hourly during the scoping stage.

What is the typical turnaround?

Scoping note within 5 business days of conflicts clearance. Substantive tracing and counterparty attribution typically delivered within 3–6 weeks, depending on complexity. Urgent freezing-order support compressed to days where the matter requires it.

Which jurisdictions can the work product be used in?

Work product has been delivered for matters in the United Kingdom, European Union member states and the United States. Procedural application includes Norwich Pharmacal, Bankers Trust, §1782, s.97A / Art. 8(3) intermediary orders, and equivalents.

What do you need from us to start?

A 30-minute partner-level call covering: the litigation objective (disclosure, asset preservation, intermediary order, quantum, criminal referral), known infringing assets (domains, addresses, transaction hashes, payment instruments) and any deadline constraints. Conflicts cleared in parallel.

Begin

Thirty minutes, partner-to-partner.

We will tell you whether the financial layer carries decisive weight on your matter — and what fixed-scope scoping looks like if it does.
