Blockchain investigation

Disciplined blockchain investigation for Canadian matters.

Structured review of addresses, counterparties, and patterns of activity — framed to inform strategy, formal requests, and counsel-led communications.

Engagement
Structured, documented, and discreet.

Scoped in writing before any work begins, with methodology and limitations declared up front.

How investigations are scoped

Every investigation begins with a clear question. What are we trying to find out? What evidence is already available? What decisions will the output inform? Scope, methodology, and limitations are then declared in writing before any analytical work begins — and the scope is revisited if the question changes.

  • Address clustering and attribution
  • Typology framing against common patterns
  • Pattern identification across related activity
  • Investigation memorandum for counsel

When investigations are appropriate

Investigations are most useful where a specific question needs a defensible answer — for counsel preparing a strategy, compliance teams conducting internal review, or clients deciding whether to engage counsel in the first place. We are candid when an investigation is unlikely to shift the practical options available.

How findings are communicated

Findings are presented in plain language with technical appendices. Confidence levels are stated. Where attribution is uncertain, it is said so plainly. The goal is a document that reads as carefully on day thirty of a matter as it does on day one.
