Cryptocurrency can add significant complexity to an investigation or dispute. Transactions may span multiple blockchains, exchanges and decentralized finance platforms, while the evidence needed to understand what happened can extend well beyond the blockchain itself. For attorneys, the challenge is not simply obtaining the data, but translating highly technical activity into clear, defensible evidence that supports the legal strategy.
In this masterclass, Delta Consulting Group’s Avi Kamath and Nada Mohammed will demystify the forensic investigation of cryptocurrency through real-world case studies. Drawing on experience in cryptocurrency tracing, forensic accounting, data analytics and investigations, they will examine how multidisciplinary teams reconstruct transactions, follow assets and turn complex analyses into findings that counsel, courts and other stakeholders can understand.
Topics will include:
– Navigating technical complexity, including cryptocurrency exchanges, blockchain transactions and decentralized finance activity
– Following the flow of funds, using blockchain tracing, data analytics and traditional financial records to reconstruct activity
– Looking beyond the blockchain, integrating communications, accounting records and computer forensic evidence into an investigation
– Supporting disputes and damages analyses when cryptocurrency activity intersects with contractual breaches and other commercial matters
– Identifying and recovering digital assets, including the practical challenges associated with tracing, valuing, recovering and safeguarding cryptocurrency
– Communicating complex findings clearly to attorneys, courts and other nontechnical audiences
Through case studies involving complex DeFi tracing, contractual disputes, fraud investigations and asset recovery, attendees will gain practical insight into how cryptocurrency investigations are conducted and how their findings can support litigation and dispute strategy.
