How We Can Help With Digital Asset Recovery and Enforcement

As the adoption of blockchain technology expands, so do the legal complexities associated with digital assets. The decentralized nature of blockchain, combined with rapidly evolving regulations, presents unique legal challenges that require specialized knowledge and strategic approaches.

Whether recovering lost or stolen digital assets, proving ownership, calculating losses, or enforcing intellectual property rights in the blockchain space, our attorneys deliver results-driven legal representation.

Digital Asset Recovery 

One of the key areas of focus for our team is digital asset recovery. With the growing use of blockchain technology and the proliferation of digital assets, it has become increasingly important for businesses and individuals to be able to protect and recover their digital assets in the event of loss, exploitation, or theft. Our team has the knowledge and experience to help clients identify the likelihood of recovery, and to then seek out and recover stolen or disputed assets, whether through investigation, litigation, arbitration, or other legal means, including:

  • Conducting forensic blockchain investigations to trace and value assets.
  • Engaging with cryptocurrency exchanges and decentralized platforms to freeze or recover unlawfully transferred funds.
  • Litigating disputes involving disputed, lost, or misappropriated digital assets.
  • Enforcing IP rights on the blockchain around the globe, including using investigative tools to discover the identity of infringers.
  • Representing creditors in blockchain business bankruptcies to recover assets owed through secured claims and legal proceedings.
