Important Disclaimer

1. Nature of Our Services

Latham & Watkins LLP provides consulting, forensic analysis, investigative support, asset tracing, blockchain transaction analysis, and suspected fraud assessment. Website content and an initial evaluation are general information only and do not, by themselves, create an attorney-client, fiduciary, or other professional relationship.

Formal legal advice or representation, when available, begins only under a separate written engagement agreement with appropriately licensed counsel. You should consult an appropriately licensed professional before making legal, investment, tax, or financial decisions.

2. No Guarantee of Recovery or Outcome

Every matter is different. The tracing, freezing, or recovery of assets depends on circumstances outside our control, including the quality and timing of available evidence, the movement of funds, the identity and location of responsible parties, and cooperation from exchanges, banks, service providers, courts, regulators, and law-enforcement agencies.

We do not guarantee that funds will be located, frozen, returned, or recovered. Past results, case studies, success rates, estimates, or statements made during an initial evaluation do not promise or predict a similar result in any other matter.

3. Risks and Timeframes

• Investigations and cross-border processes may take longer than expected or may not be completed.
• Digital assets may be transferred, exchanged, mixed, or otherwise made difficult to trace.
• Laws, procedures, and agency or platform policies may change during a matter.
• Evidence may be incomplete, unavailable, inadmissible, or insufficient to support further action.
• Third parties may decline, delay, or be legally unable to assist.
• Necessary third-party, filing, translation, expert, or professional fees may apply if agreed in advance.

4. Client Information and Cooperation

Our assessment and work rely on information supplied by you and other sources. You are responsible for providing information that is complete, accurate, current, and lawfully obtained. Delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading information may affect our ability to assist and may lead to an incorrect assessment or the termination of services.

You should preserve transaction records, wallet addresses, account details, communications, and other relevant evidence. Do not contact suspected fraudsters, transfer additional funds, or take action based solely on website content.

5. Website Information

Website content is provided for general informational purposes. Although we make reasonable efforts to keep it accurate and current, we do not warrant that it is complete, error-free, or suitable for a particular purpose. Fraud alerts, articles, statistics, testimonials, and case examples may become outdated and should not be treated as professional advice or a forecast of future performance.

6. Third-Party Services and Links

This website may link to or use third-party websites, messaging platforms, analytics services, or other providers. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy practices. Latham & Watkins LLP does not control and is not responsible for their availability, security, content, actions, or omissions. Accessing or using a third-party service is at your own risk.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Latham & Watkins LLP and its personnel, partners, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential loss arising from reliance on this website, delay or interruption in service, third-party conduct, or an unsuccessful investigation or recovery effort.

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Any service-specific obligations and limitations will be set out in the written agreement applicable to that engagement.

8. Updates and Questions

We may revise this disclaimer when our services, practices, or legal requirements change. The latest version will be posted on this page. Questions about this notice may be submitted through our contact page.
