Core Services

Crypto Scam & Fraud Response

Common scenarios: fake investment schemes, romance/“pig‑butchering,” phishing/drainers, rug pulls, impersonation, SIM‑swap fallout.

What We Do

• Rapid triage & preservation (platform and counterparty notices; evidence capture)
• Coordinate with independent blockchain investigators to trace flows and identify potential recovery points – time is of the essence!
• Draft and send demand letters; manage exchange/custodian communications
• File civil actions where warranted and pursue emergency relief (e.g., TROs/preliminary injunctions), subpoenas, and discovery
• Drive toward judgments and enforcement, including settlement, turnover, or garnishment where available
• Advise on safe return and documentation when funds are recovered Deliverables: preservation letters, tracing‑vendor SOWs, demand packages, platform escalation memos, pleadings/motions, and settlement terms.

Important: Results vary; no attorney can guarantee recovery. We set expectations early and update as facts evolve.

Business & Contractual Crypto Transactions

Use cases: partnerships, data/API licensing, vendor onboarding, integrations, pilot agreements, IP/code licensing.

What We Do

• Draft/negotiate MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, licenses, and API/data terms

• Smart‑contract risk alignment — legal wrappers for audits, bug‑bounty & disclosure terms, IP licensing for code
• Governance in web3 products — terms of use, acceptable‑use, dispute mechanisms
• Outcome: clear, enforceable agreements that move deals forward and preserve leverage.
