Lawful means only
No hack-backs, no gray-market recovery agents, no pretexting. Evidence gathered unlawfully poisons a claim, so we do not touch it.
Our Practice
A financial law practice for disputes where the money has already moved.
Global Case Authority acts in fraud, tracing, and recovery matters — the cases where the counterparty is evasive, the funds have crossed borders, and progress depends on making specific institutions act.
The firm was founded by banking, forensic accounting, and legal practitioners who kept seeing the same failure: strong claims lost to weak process. The practice is built around fixing that.
Who We Are
Lawyers who can read a bank file, and analysts who can read a blockchain.
Fraud and asset disputes sit between two professions. Legal teams without tracing capability write letters that go unanswered; investigators without legal standing produce reports no one is obliged to act on. We keep both functions on the same file, under the same duty to the client.
Our work is not built on spectacle. It is built on chronology, evidence quality, jurisdictional fit, and the disciplined use of pressure where an institution is actually obliged to respond.
Professional Standards
Rules we work under — not values we advertise.
Confidentiality by default
Your matter is discussed with no one outside the engagement without written consent — including the fact that you are a client.
Litigation-grade documentation
Every chronology and exhibit is built to the standard a court or regulator would demand, even where the matter settles first.
Conflicts checked before intake
We confirm we are free to act before we read your evidence, not after.
How a Matter Proceeds
The same three stages, on every file.
You decide whether to continue after each stage, with the work product in hand either way. The full stage descriptions and deliverables are set out in the engagement letter.
Stage One
Assessment
Chronology, contracts, and movement of funds reviewed; a written view on whether a claim is viable, against whom, and at what likely cost.
Stage Two
Build & Notify
Transaction mapping, evidence packaging, and formal notices to the exchanges, banks, and processors that touched the funds.
Stage Three
Resolve
Negotiated settlement where the leverage supports it; regulator complaints and civil proceedings with local counsel where it does not.
Next Step
Start with the assessment, not a commitment.
The first review is confidential and ends in a written view on merits — including a plain no where the facts do not support a claim.
