Digital Asset Fraud and Recovery

We specialise in recovering stolen crypto assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, and Non-Fungible Tokens (‘NFTs’). Our litigators can instruct experts to trace cryptocurrency on the blockchain with a view to freezing assets quickly to prevent dissipation via Worldwide Freezing Orders, including non-custodial wallet addresses, public addresses and bank accounts, along with any real or personal property. We can also obtain disclosure orders against cryptocurrency exchanges or banks to gather information about fraudsters via Norwich Pharmacal orders. If your assets are frozen, we can help with the release process and continue monitoring wallets for evidence to recover your assets.

Cryptocurrency Disputes

There may be causes of action adjacent to crypto assets, covering breach of contract/trust / fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, knowing receipt, misrepresentation, mis-selling of cryptocurrency as well as fraud. Smooth Commercial Law is ready to support you in pursuing litigation against individuals, exchanges, blockchain platforms, software developers, and financial advisors involved in cryptocurrency investment schemes. As the world of cryptocurrency law rapidly evolves, our specialist team stays at the forefront of developments and possesses the expertise to strategically navigate and resolve technical disputes. This can include a proprietary injunction over specific cryptocurrency, asserting that you are entitled to the traceable proceeds of cryptocurrency following disclosure, orders for restoring crypto-assets, orders for a declaration that your opponent holds cryptocurrency, and an account of profits, along with any equitable compensation. Smooth Commercial Law also has expertise in enforcing judgments.
