Crypto asset disputes cover fights over who owns tokens, who can access them, and what happened to missing or misdirected digital assets, including issues arising from exchange failures, wallet misdirections, or misappropriation. A solicitor in this area handles tracing and recovering crypto, drafting statements of claim, and applying for court orders to compel disclosure and preserve assets; they may negotiate with exchanges or wallet providers and advise on regulatory questions under the Financial Conduct Authority framework. The work often involves cross‑border information and expert forensic evidence.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor coordinates evidence such as blockchain analytics, custody agreements, and exchange records, navigates disclosure and preservation steps, and interprets evolving regulatory and contractual regimes to advance a tracing or recovery strategy. They rely on civil procedure rules, expert reports, and, where relevant, insolvency or fraud regimes to protect client interests.
