Why crypto matters need specialist handling

Crypto cases sit at the intersection of three legal worlds: civil recovery, criminal complaint, and regulatory engagement. They also require technical understanding of how digital assets move. A generalist lawyer can file a complaint. A specialist can build a recovery strategy that combines blockchain forensics, criminal pressure, civil action, and cross-border enforcement, in the right sequence, before the trail goes cold.
