About Us
Footprint Investigations helps people and organisations make sense of fraud, scams, and complex situations.
For many years, we worked quietly behind the scenes, supporting sensitive investigations and tackling serious criminal activity. Today, as fraud and online scams affect more people than ever before, we have made our expertise available directly to those who need help.
Our role is simple: to provide clear, reliable answers when things feel uncertain or overwhelming.

How we got here
Decades
of experience
Where it beganThe Footprint Investigations board possesses extensive international financial fraud expertise built over decades of working on large, complex investigations, experience that is difficult to match. Drawing on this expertise, the board supports investigators and oversees large, complex investigations. Experience is critical, and the board's insight helps guide key decisions that contribute to successful outcomes.
Today
Where we are nowToday, our international experience and UK presence combine to help individuals and businesses address and resolve the challenges they face. Footprint Investigations operates as a cohesive team of investigators, legal specialists, and intelligence analysts working together on every case, from initial assessment through to final resolution.
Relationships that matter
Over four decades, our management team has worked with international law enforcement agencies, specialist legal partners, banks, cryptocurrency exchanges, and financial regulators worldwide, combined with practical investigative expertise and modern technology, enabling us to deliver focused investigations and results-driven outcomes.
Law Enforcement
We work closely with law enforcement agencies to support investigations, and to share intelligence. These established relationships give us a deeper understanding of each client's situation, allowing us to assess the facts clearly and map the most effective investigative approach from the outset.
Legal Partners
Our internationally regulated legal partners provide specialist insight and guidance, helping ensure investigations align with legal requirements and support civil or criminal proceedings where necessary. To assist fraud investigations, the recovery of all client funds is handled by our legal partners.
Financial Regulators
Our legal partners work with financial regulators and Ombudsman's to raise concerns about how banks and cryptocurrency exchanges have acted, identify where standards may not have been met, and support steps to help hold such institutions to account.
Supporting victims of fraud
Fraud has increased dramatically in recent years, leaving many individuals unsure where to turn or who to trust.
We understand how stressful and confusing these situations can be. That is why we work openly with individuals and families, offering professional insight, practical guidance, and evidence-based solutions.
Footprint Investigations provides clear, reliable answers designed to help you understand exactly what happened and deliver realistic, actionable options. You will never be made to feel at fault. Our team handles every case with complete discretion and sensitivity, and practical results.
Powered by intelligence
To support our investigative work, we developed Cobra AI, an advanced investigative platform designed to help identify risks, patterns, and warning signs more quickly and accurately.
Cobra AI does not replace human judgement. Instead, it strengthens our ability to review information, assess credibility, and provide clear conclusions you can rely on.
Cobra AI accelerates investigation timelines and uncovers patterns invisible to traditional methods.
AI-Powered Analysis
Processes thousands of data points simultaneously to surface patterns invisible to manual review.
Real-Time Intelligence
Live monitoring of wallets, addresses, and entities for instant alerts on asset movement.
Global Coverage
Cross-references data across 50+ jurisdictions and multiple blockchain networks simultaneously.
What we stand for
Honest, Clear & Transparent
We believe trust is earned through honesty and clarity. We explain our findings in plain language, without unnecessary technical terms or jargon. You always understand what we can and cannot do, and why.
Quality You Can Rely On
We prioritise quality over quantity. Rather than overwhelming clients with data, we carefully verify what genuinely matters. When the situation is serious, the information must be right.
Regulated & Accountable
Footprint Investigations operates in accordance with FSMA provisions for claims management. Fund recovery is handled by senior solicitors with full SRA regulation, ensuring every step meets the highest legal standards.
Client Wellbeing First
We understand fraud impacts more than finances. Every client is assigned a dedicated case liaison. We handle every case with complete discretion, sensitivity, and ongoing communication.
