Services
Criminal prosecution support
Support for victims working with law enforcement — evidence packaging, formal complaints, and liaison with prosecutors and investigators.
What this service covers
Preparation of forensically sound evidence packages for submission to investigators; drafting of formal criminal complaints; liaison with prosecutors, police cybercrime units, and international reporting centres (IC3, Action Fraud, HK Police CCB, etc.); victim-impact statements and restitution applications.
When this service applies
- 01You have identified or partially identified the counterparty and the conduct fits a criminal offence in the relevant jurisdiction.
- 02A criminal investigation is already underway and you need professional support to interact with it effectively.
- 03The scale or pattern of conduct is likely to meet the threshold at which prosecutors accept a file.
- 04You are eligible for victim-compensation schemes that require formal legal documentation.
When this service may NOT be appropriate
Criminal complaints are not a substitute for civil recovery. In many jurisdictions the criminal track runs years behind and recovery for victims is limited.
- · Civil recovery is the more effective path and the criminal route would only delay it.
- · The jurisdiction does not treat the conduct as criminal in practice, regardless of how it is characterised in statute.
- · You prefer not to be identified publicly; most criminal proceedings require this.
Our approach
- 01Evidence review and chain-of-custody preservation.
- 02Drafting the complaint in a form prosecutors in the target jurisdiction will accept.
- 03Direct liaison with the investigating unit where professional counsel is admitted.
- 04Victim impact and restitution applications where schemes exist.
Relevant legal frameworks
Applicable criminal codes in the investigating jurisdiction; rules governing victim participation and disclosure; mutual-legal-assistance treaties for cross-border evidence; confidentiality and reporting regimes.
Practical limitations
We do not represent the prosecution and cannot compel an investigator to accept a file. We can, however, substantially improve the odds that a file is accepted and correctly understood.
