Counsel for High-Stakes Cybercrime, Arbitration, and Asset Protection

A New York–based law firm representing high-net-worth families, founders, and family-office principals.

Founded by Max Dilendorf, one of the first U.S. attorneys to dedicate his practice to digital asset law in 2017, the firm is now counsel of record in 130+ cybercrime arbitrations against Coinbase, Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, Gemini, and other institution.

Cybercrime Defense & Recovery

We represent HNW victims of SIM-swap attacks, account takeovers, exchange theft, wire fraud, business email compromise, ransomware, network intrusions, IP and data theft, and domain hijacking.

The work spans crypto theft and traditional financial-institution attacks (Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, and major banks).

Coordinated with former federal cybercrime professionals, former federal and state regulators, forensics specialists, and licensed expert witnesses.

HNW Arbitration

We file at AAA, JAMS, NAM, and FINRA — disputes against crypto exchanges, mobile carriers, financial institutions, and software and AI counterparties.

Public courts are closing for HNW wealth disputes. Our practice was built for what replaces them.

Asset Protection & Cross-Border Structuring 

Onshore and offshore structures designed to withstand actual litigation — not brochure protection.

Every structure we design is stress-tested against the threats that bring them down in real life: brute-force cyber attacks, creditor pursuit, fraudulent-transfer claims, IRS challenges, and contempt orders.

Experience across Cook Islands, Wyoming, and domestic self-settled trust jurisdictions, integrated with cross-border tax and estate planning through our senior team.

When structures face IRS scrutiny, we coordinate with former IRS Civil and Criminal Investigation Division officials.

Our Clients

We advise family offices, founders, high-net-worth individuals, digital asset innovators, wealth advisors, and trust officers.

Our practice was built for complex matters — the problems other firms decline because the answer isn’t obvious.

Discreet, practical legal solutions where wealth is at risk and judgment matters more than precedent.
