Selected work

The work, not the names.

Every matter here is anonymised, because discretion is the service. Real problems, real outcomes. Names on request.

IP and brands · Investigations

The seller nobody could see

The problem. A global fashion house was losing ground to high-quality fakes from an anonymous marketplace seller. Three firms had tried and stalled.

What happened. We identified the operator, gathered evidence that held up, traced the supply to source and removed listings at scale. The client never had to surface.

Operator found in under three weeks

Finance, crypto and digital assets

Money that moved through wallets

The problem. A founder discovered funds had been misappropriated and pushed quickly into crypto across several wallets and exchanges.

What happened. We traced the assets on-chain, secured the right legal route to freeze them and recovered the majority, before the trail went cold.

Majority of funds recovered

IP and brands

A competitor who got too close

The problem. A challenger launched a brand uncomfortably close to a client's identity, in the same category, in the same week.

What happened. We ran pre-action intelligence, filed an opposition and resolved it on terms, before it ever became a public fight or a story.

Resolved without proceedings

Grey market · Investigations

The leak in the channel

The problem. Genuine product kept appearing in markets it was never sold into, quietly undercutting an authorised network.

What happened. We investigated the channel, found the leak, and closed it, with the evidence to support action against the source.

Leak identified and closed

Reputation-sensitive

Quietly, before it became a story

The problem. A dispute carried real reputational risk for a high-profile client. Publicity would have done more damage than the matter itself.

What happened. We resolved it discreetly and on terms, with no coverage and no fallout. The right people never knew there had been a problem.

Settled, with no publicity

IP and brands · Corporate

Clean title, just in time

The problem. Days into due diligence, a buyer found the target did not clearly own core IP built by past contractors. The deal wobbled.

What happened. We tracked down the contributors, secured the missing assignments and rebuilt a clean chain of title. The deal closed on time.

Deal closed on schedule
