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. Founded 2005 Group 1987 Knightsbridge Group Base Bangkok Thailand Instructed Worldwide Cross-border 01 / Practice ## 6 Specialities 01 IPOs and capital markets Public offerings, listings, corporate financing and the continuing obligations of public companies. 02 Financial crime defence Securities offences, market abuse, money laundering, fraud and embezzlement. 03 Cyber crime Computer misuse, data breach, digital fraud and cross-border cyber investigations. 04 Tokenization and digital assets Token structuring, exchange and custody regulation, and digital asset disputes. 05 Litigation and arbitration Civil disputes, financial forensics, contract and securities litigation before courts and tribunals. 06 Corporate and regulatory Company formation, holding structures, licensing and cross-border acquisitions. 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. 03 / Firm ## Knightsbridge Law.

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.
