REPORTING
Are you covered by European Cyberattack Reporting legislation?
If your company operates in a critical sector: energy, transport, healthcare, digital infrastructure, IT services, or financial services, EU law requires you to act fast and report to authorities when a cyber attack hits. Missing these deadlines can result in heavy fines and personal liability for your management.

HOW WE HELP
DIVORCE CASE INVOLVING HIDDEN CRYPTO ASSETS
CASE OVERVIEW
A Turkish law firm contacted us on behalf of a client who was going through divorce proceedings.
SITUATION
During the marriage, the client and their spouse had invested over $200,000 into cryptocurrencies. The client did not have access to the exchange accounts or private wallets where the crypto was held and needed help identifying the assets for the divorce process.
OUR WORK
We reviewed the available information and conducted a forensic investigation to locate crypto assets held by the client’s spouse. The analysis focused on identifying relevant wallets, exchange activity and transaction evidence that could support the client’s position.
OUTCOME
We located the relevant crypto assets and prepared a court-ready report with supporting evidence. The report was used by the client before the corresponding judge in the divorce proceedings.
INHERITANCE CASE INVOLVING MISUSE OF RECOVERED CRYPTO ASSETS
CASE OVERVIEW
A widow contacted us after recovering crypto assets that had belonged to her late husband through inheritance procedures with several major crypto exchanges.
SITUATION
After the assets were recovered, she trusted a friend to safeguard the crypto on her behalf. The friend breached that trust and started using the inherited funds in an attempt to increase their value. As a result, the majority of the funds were lost.
OUR WORK
We investigated the inherited crypto assets to determine what had originally been recovered, how the assets were later moved, what happened to them, and what remained.
OUTCOME
We prepared a comprehensive forensic report setting out the transaction history, asset movements and remaining balances. The report was used in the client’s civil lawsuit against the person she had trusted to safeguard the assets.
