Cryptocurrency Fraud Recovery
When crypto assets are stolen through fake exchanges, phishing or rug pulls, speed is everything. We instruct blockchain forensics specialists, trace funds across wallets and chains, and pursue disclosure and freezing relief against the exchanges where stolen assets come to rest.
Stolen cryptocurrency is not gone — it is somewhere. Every transaction leaves a permanent record on the blockchain, and in the majority of cases we handle, funds can be followed through mixers, peel chains and swap services until they reach an exchange with a real-world operator. That is where the law can reach them.
Our team combines specialist blockchain forensics with the full toolkit of English civil fraud litigation. The English courts now routinely grant freezing and disclosure orders over crypto assets — including against persons unknown — and we have used those tools to lock down and recover assets for victims of fake investment platforms, phishing attacks, SIM-swap thefts and rug pulls.
How we help
- 1
Urgent preservation
Within the first days we notify the exchanges involved on a preservation basis, file and reference your police report, and secure the evidence on your devices — messages, wallet addresses, transaction hashes and platform records.
- 2
Forensic tracing
Working with leading blockchain analytics providers, we follow your funds across wallets, chains and swap services to identify where they came to rest and who controls the destination accounts.
- 3
Freeze and disclose
We apply to the High Court for freezing injunctions and disclosure orders compelling exchanges to reveal account holders' identities and lock the assets in place — often before the fraudsters know we are coming.

Recover
With the assets frozen and the holders identified, we pursue judgment and enforcement — negotiating recovery where possible, litigating where necessary, and coordinating with law enforcement throughout.
