# Capital markets, financial crime, digital assets.

Knightsbridge Law advises corporations, financial institutions, governments, exchanges and private clients on matters where money, regulation and facts are all contested at once.

We provide advice on public offerings and public listings, and defend serious financial and cyber crime allegations. In addition, we advise on the structuring of tokenized and digital assets.

The disclosure in a contested matter, mapped as one model and queried. The unstruck point is a gap: something the case asserts that the records do not support.

02 / Method

## We run an ontology over the disclosure.

A financial crime prosecution is a claim about a network. It asserts that particular people, accounts and transactions connect in a particular way, and it rests on disclosure that can run to hundreds of thousands of documents. Read sequentially, that claim is very difficult to test.

We test it structurally. Every entity, account, transaction and relationship in the disclosure is mapped into a single ontology and then queried. Connections surface that sequential review does not reach. So do the gaps: assertions in the prosecution case that the underlying records do not support.

The platform is built inside the Knightsbridge Group rather than licensed from a vendor, and it is operated by the lawyers running the matter. It makes the evidence visible, and shows which facts matter.

Six practices: IPOs and capital markets, financial crime defence, cyber crime, tokenization and digital assets, litigation and arbitration, and corporate and regulatory work. It is not a consumer or high-street firm and does not take family, immigration or conveyancing work.

### How do I instruct the firm?

Through the enquiry form at https://knightsbridgelaw.com/#contact. Every enquiry is read by a lawyer.

### Is an enquiry confidential or privileged?

An enquiry is not privileged. Legal professional privilege attaches once the firm is formally instructed and a retainer is in place, not to a first message. Do not send detail you would not want read before that point.

### Is Knightsbridge Law the same as KXCO?

No. KXCO is a software company and does not practise law. Knightsbridge Law is a law firm and is not a bank, broker or software vendor. Both are part of the Knightsbridge Group. There are also other firms named Knightsbridge that are unconnected to this one.
