Digital Asset Tracing

Losing access to digital assets through fraud, hacking, or a breach of trust can be distressing, and unlike traditional banking, blockchain transactions are difficult to reverse. Acting quickly can make a real difference to the prospects of recovery.

Our lawyers at Jal N. Karbhari, Solicitors & Notary assist individuals and businesses with the tracing and recovery of digital assets. Our team combines blockchain investigation with court proceedings in Hong Kong and, where needed, across other jurisdictions.

Individual Investors & Traders
Victims of hacking, phishing, romance scams, or fraudulent investment platforms promising unrealistic returns.

Business Owners & Corporate Treasuries
Companies that have suffered unauthorised access to corporate crypto holdings, treasury assets, or business-use digital wallets.

Cryptocurrency Exchanges & Platforms
Entities seeking to recover misappropriated user funds, defend against claims, or obtain legal clarity on disputed transactions.

Fund Managers & Institutional Investors
Asset managers facing breaches of custody, theft by third-party service providers, or disputes over digital asset holdings and valuations.

Victims of Investment Fraud
Individuals misled by bogus initial coin offerings (ICOs), token scams, Ponzi schemes, or fraudulent decentralised finance (DeFi) projects.

Families & Estates
Administrators or beneficiaries seeking to locate, access, and recover digital assets held by a deceased relative where private keys or passwords are unknown.

Blockchain tracing and investigation

Our team analyses transaction flows using blockchain analytics tools to identify wallet clusters, exchange endpoints, and the movement of assets, building an evidential basis for legal action.

Urgent court orders

Our team can seek urgent relief from the Hong Kong courts, including freezing orders against digital assets and disclosure orders requiring exchanges to preserve assets and provide identification data.

Civil proceedings for recovery

Our team brings claims such as unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, and conversion, and pursues responsible parties to secure judgment and recover assets.

Tokenisation and digital asset structures

For businesses and issuers, our team advises on the structuring, governance, and regulatory compliance of tokenised assets, including compliance with the relevant regulatory requirements.
