Digital Asset Recovery
Blockchain tracing, exchange identification, wallet attribution and recovery strategy — pursued through custodians, platforms and the courts, never through wallets of our own.

Digital asset investigations and legal recovery
A cross-border group tracing digital and foreign exchange assets from Singapore, Zurich and Hong Kong. We build court-ready evidence and pursue recovery through regulated legal channels. We never take custody of client funds, and we never guarantee an outcome.

Our divisions
Five specialist divisions, one case file
We do not promise to return stolen assets. We investigate, trace and document what happened and, where the evidence supports it, pursue recovery through regulated legal channels.
Financial Crime & Fraud Investigations
Investment and digital-asset fraud, romance fraud, business email compromise and foreign exchange fraud, supported by evidence preservation, a documented chronology and forensic reporting.
Legal Recovery
Litigation, injunctions, freezing and disclosure orders, arbitration and negotiated settlement, conducted by lawyers authorised in the relevant jurisdiction.
Asset Tracing & Intelligence
On-chain analytics, open-source intelligence, corporate intelligence and cross-border tracing to establish where value has come to rest and who controls it.
Foreign Exchange & Financial Disputes
Broker disputes, unauthorised transactions, misrepresentation, contractual claims and regulatory complaints against licensed and unlicensed intermediaries.
No guaranteed recovery
Every matter receives a documented viability assessment — high, medium or low probability, or insufficient evidence — with our reasoning set out in writing.
Group structure
Investigations and legal services, deliberately separated
Our investigators do not give legal advice, and legal advice is provided only by entities authorised in the jurisdiction concerned. The two sides of the group work together under formal co-operation agreements.

- Digital-asset investigations and blockchain intelligence
- Client intake, case management and regional operations

The boundary we hold
We investigate and litigate; we do not hold client funds or digital assets. Recovered value passes from the court, regulator or exchange directly into an account or wallet held in the client’s own name at a regulated institution, and never through a wallet of ours.

Our process
A clear path from first enquiry to claim
- 01
Initial consultation
You set out what happened. We review the transactions, platforms and correspondence at no cost and in confidence.
- 02
Written assessment
Within two business days you receive a candid written view on whether recovery is realistic and what pursuing it would involve.
- 03
Tracing and evidence
Our forensic team maps the movement of funds and identifies the entities that hold or control them, to an evidential standard.
- 04
Legal action
We pursue freezing orders, disclosure applications, regulatory complaints and claims in the jurisdictions where the assets sit.
We accept instructions only where we consider a meaningful recovery achievable. If a matter is not viable, we say so at the assessment stage. We are not a substitute for law enforcement, and victims of fraud should also report the matter to the authorities in their own jurisdiction.
Engagement terms
Staged fees, approved before each step
We do not act on a pure contingency basis and we do not quote a percentage of your loss. Each stage has its own scope, cost and written approval, so you remain in control and may stop at any point.
- Stage 1 · Fixed fee
Initial assessment
Intake, KYC, fraud chronology and a written viability assessment with a stated probability of recovery.
- Stage 2 · Fixed fee or hourly
Forensic investigation
Blockchain tracing, exchange identification, OSINT and an evidence file prepared to court standard.
- Stage 3 · Fixed fee or hourly
Legal strategy
Jurisdiction analysis, counsel selection and the procedural route — injunctions, disclosure, arbitration or complaint.
- Stage 4 · Retainer + staged fees
Litigation & enforcement
Proceedings run by authorised lawyers, with a success component only where legally and professionally permitted.
Minimum case size is assessed individually. Below a certain loss value, cross-border action rarely leaves a worthwhile net recovery; where that is the case we say so at Stage 1 rather than invoice you for work that cannot help.
Important notice
How to verify you are dealing with us
We never ask for wallet access
We will never ask for your seed phrase, private keys, exchange passwords or remote access to your devices.
Beware of recovery fraud
Fraudsters routinely approach victims a second time with false recovery offers and demands for upfront “release” payments. We never ask for such payments.
