Investigations into fraud, hidden assets, and financial deception — for individuals targeted by scams, businesses defending against loss, and litigation contexts where the truth sits behind the numbers.
For individuals targeted by scams, businesses defending against loss, and litigation contexts where the truth sits behind the numbers. Every engagement in this service line is conducted to evidential standard, with documentation prepared for civil action, criminal referral, or both. Each matter is scoped against the specific facts: who the actor is, where the money went, what jurisdictions are involved, and whether the priority is recovery, evidence, or both.
Investigation into suspected or confirmed fraud — for individuals targeted by scams, businesses confronting suspected fraudulent activity, and solicitors building civil claims against fraudsters. We reconstruct the chronology, identify the actor, trace the money flow, preserve the evidence to admissible standard, and produce documentation suitable for civil action, criminal referral, or both. Where the fraud is cross-border, we coordinate jurisdiction-aware evidence collection and engage local capability under our scoping.
On-chain tracing of stolen funds, scam transfers, and illicit cryptocurrency movement. We follow the funds through wallet hops, mixers, and cross-chain bridges; identify destination exchanges and the points where funds re-enter the regulated financial system; preserve the on-chain evidence; and produce a tracing report formatted for civil recovery applications, exchange freezing requests, and law enforcement referral.
Locate, document, and evidence assets — UK and international, on-chain and off-chain, real property, corporate interests, financial holdings, beneficial ownership through nominee structures. We produce intelligence reports formatted for freezing-order applications, charging-order proceedings, and judgment enforcement actions. Where the matter is cross-border, we coordinate lawful information collection in the relevant jurisdictions.
Investigation into property-related fraud — title fraud, fraudulent vendor representation, misrepresented property condition or planning status, and the diaspora property scams that disproportionately affect overseas Nigerian and other diaspora buyers. We verify title and planning status through documented records, investigate the seller and intermediaries, conduct on-site verification where required, and produce evidence suitable for civil and criminal action.
Evidence collection and analysis for defamation matters — identifying anonymous publishers, preserving online publications to a standard that survives takedown, mapping the dissemination network, and quantifying the audience and reputational harm. We produce evidence packs formatted for pre-action correspondence, NDA-style takedown demands, and defamation claim filings.
Every fraud engagement begins with a confidential discovery call. We treat the first contact as privileged and never ask for evidential material at the inquiry stage.
