Pricing

Clear pricing for professional crypto investigation and court support

We offer fixed-fee crypto investigation and court support services. Every case is different, so complexity and cost are agreed before any work begins. There are no surprise fees. 

Our role is to trace assets, document what happened, and support law enforcement or civil court action with clear, evidential reporting. We cannot guarantee recovery, but we can give you clarity and options. 

Crypto Investigation Report 

This service is designed for individuals or organisations who need a professional, evidential tracing report following the loss of cryptocurrency through theft, fraud or scams.

£6,000+ VAT for standard cases 
£10,000+ VAT for complex cases 

The final fee is agreed in advance. Full payment is required before work begins.

What this includes

We trace stolen cryptocurrency using Chainalysis Reactor, the same software used by law enforcement and regulators worldwide. The investigation:

  • Traces your cryptocurrency from the point it left your control
  • Maps the full transaction path across wallets and blockchains
  • Identifies the exchanges or services that received the funds
  • Records all tracing steps clearly and transparently

Where appropriate, we also notify the relevant exchanges that they have received suspected proceeds of crime.

The final report is produced as evidential material suitable for submission to law enforcement. It sets out the transaction history, methodology, and findings in a clear format that police can use to request freezes, disclosures, or further action. We also submit a Report Fraud report on your behalf.

Important to understand

Law enforcement decisions are outside our control. Police may choose not to investigate due to resourcing or prioritisation, and there is no guarantee that the evidence will be acted upon. The investigation report alone does not guarantee recovery of funds.
Once the report is delivered, this service is complete and your file is closed.

Crypto Investigation Report + Legal Support 

If law enforcement does not take the case forward, a UK civil court application may be an alternative route.

£15,000+ VAT

This option uses civil court powers to apply for worldwide freezing and disclosure orders against exchanges, where legally justified. If granted, these orders can require exchanges to confirm whether funds remain and disclose information about the accounts involved.

What this includes

This is a fixed-fee service covering the initial court phase only. It includes:

  • A complex crypto investigation report
  • Legal drafting of the claim against Persons Unknown
  • Drafting of applications, affidavits, and proposed court orders
  • Preparation of instructions to barristers for court representation
  • An initial freezing and disclosure order application
  • The initial hearing and the return hearing

This option may provide

  • Confirmation of whether funds remain on exchange
  • Disclosure of the scammer’s KYC (identity) information
  • Transaction activity after the scammer received your assets, showing onward movement

Important to understand

This fee covers only the initial court application and hearings listed above. If further tracing, recovery action, or additional court applications are required, these would involve additional costs. Any further work would be discussed and agreed with you in advance.

Court orders are discretionary. There is no guarantee that an order will be granted, or that recovery will follow even if it is.
