Process
Step 1
Contact us directly or have your solicitor reach out with a brief outline of the matter. We'll respond within 24 hours. Everything is strictly confidential from the first conversation.
Step 2
We speak with you or your solicitor to understand what disclosure has been provided, assess what may be missing, and confirm how we can help. No obligation.
Step 3
We agree scope, timeline, and fees. A full NDA is signed before any work begins. All engagements are strictly confidential.
Step 4
We conduct forensic investigation and tracing across all identified platforms and chains - keeping instructing counsel informed throughout.
Step 5
We deliver a court-ready report documenting concealed asset findings - and remain available for expert witness testimony if required.
New Zealand law
Disclosure obligations under the Property (Relationships) Act 1976
Both parties must fully disclose all assets including cryptocurrency. Failure to disclose digital holdings can result in court penalties, adverse cost orders, and revised property settlements.
Why crypto is easy to hide
There is no central registry for self-custody holdings. Pseudonymous addresses, overseas exchanges, and cross-chain movement make cryptocurrency easy to omit from standard financial disclosure without specialist forensic analysis.
What on-chain forensics can prove
Blockchain forensics can establish wallet attribution, transfer timing, and ownership indicators - but also has evidentiary limits. We document what the evidence supports and what it cannot prove, so counsel can rely on findings that withstand court scrutiny.
Consequences of non-disclosure
Courts can order further disclosure, draw adverse inferences against a non-disclosing party, and in serious cases treat non-disclosure as contempt. Forensic evidence supports applications for court-ordered disclosure and revised settlements.
