How we work
How a case proceeds
Fraud recovery rarely follows a single path. What every case shares is the same starting point: a clear-eyed view of what can actually be achieved.
- 01
Tell us what happened
A confidential conversation about what you paid, to whom, and how. Every enquiry is handled without judgement.
- 02
Get a realistic assessment
We review the payments and evidence, then set out in writing which recovery routes exist in your case, what they cost, and what we genuinely think of your prospects.
- 03
We act on every front
Depending on your case: tracing and freezing assets, claims against your bank, insolvency remedies, and a properly evidenced referral to the police.
- 04
You stay informed
Your solicitor posts each development to your secure client portal — case status, documents and key dates — so you always know where things stand.
What we do
What we can help with
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.
How we helpPonzi & Investment Scheme Claims
We act for individual investors and victim groups defrauded by Ponzi schemes, boiler rooms and unregulated investment products — pursuing the operators, their assets, and the professionals and institutions that enabled them.
How we helpLaw Enforcement Liaison
A police report alone rarely gets money back — but a well-evidenced criminal file can transform a civil recovery. We prepare evidence packages, file and escalate complaints with the right agencies, and keep investigations moving on your behalf.
How we helpAsset Tracing & Freezing Orders
Fraudsters move money fast; we move faster. Our civil fraud team obtains worldwide freezing injunctions and third-party disclosure orders to locate assets and lock them down before they disappear.
How we helpBank & APP Fraud Reimbursement
If you were deceived into transferring money from your bank account, you may be entitled to reimbursement from your bank. We run authorised push payment claims, ombudsman complaints and court proceedings against sending and receiving banks.
How we helpRomance & Online Scam Claims
Romance fraud and so-called pig-butchering schemes are devastating — financially and personally. We handle these matters with complete discretion, combining recovery action with careful, judgement-free support throughout.

Client voices
What clients say
“They traced the funds to an exchange and had the account frozen before the fraudsters could move them on. At every stage I knew exactly what was happening and why.”
“The police investigation had stalled for a year. The firm rebuilt the evidence file, escalated it to the right unit, and things finally started moving.”
“After the scam I was ashamed to even talk about it. They treated me with respect, dealt with my bank, and my reimbursement claim succeeded. I wish I had called sooner.”
