London, UK – As crypto-related fraud continues to evolve at speed across jurisdictions, C5 Group will convene leading legal practitioners, law enforcement officials, regulators, forensic experts and crypto industry leaders at the 3rd Annual Forum on AI & Crypto Fraud and Asset Recovery, taking place on 23–24 April 2026 at The Royal Horseguards Hotel in London
Part of C5 Group’s renowned Fraud & Asset Tracing Series, the Forum will deliver cutting-edge strategies to tackle crypto fraud, unlock asset recovery tools, and examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping both criminal methodologies and enforcement responses
Addressing the UK and Cross-Border Enforcement Landscape
Against the backdrop of the UK’s Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 and expanded seizure and freezing powers under Part 5 of POCA 2002, the 2026 programme will provide practical guidance on leveraging new crypto asset recovery authorities and navigating complex cross-border challenges
Key sessions will explore:
- The full lifecycle of crypto asset recovery, from identification and seizure to realisation and liquidation
- The evolving liability of crypto exchanges in the wake of recent collapse and fraud cases
- The emerging “burn and remint” mechanism and its implications for victim recovery and law enforcement cooperation
- Smart contracts, blockchain manipulation, and digital asset litigation, including analysis of D’Aloia v Persons Unknown Ors
- AI’s dual role in both fuelling fraud, including deepfakes and KYC manipulation, and strengthening investigative tools
The programme also features a UK Law Commission update on private international law reforms affecting digital assets, alongside insights into DAO structuring, token governance, and crypto exchange insolvencies
Distinguished UK, European and International Faculty
The Forum will be co-chaired by Ashley Fairbrother, Partner at Edmonds Marshall McMahon (UK), and Racheal Muldoon, Partner* at Ogier.
Law enforcement updates will be delivered by senior representatives from Kent Police and the North Wales Police Cyber Office, offering frontline perspectives on investigative trends and operational realities.
The distinguished faculty includes barristers, KCs, solicitors, offshore specialists, corporate counsel and crypto industry leaders from the UK, Cayman Islands, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Singapore, Canada and beyond. Corporate speakers include representatives from Twinstake, cyberFund, CEX.io and Parity Technologies
Practical Intelligence for Legal, Compliance and Investigative Professionals

Attendees will benefit from:
- In-depth analysis of recent case law and regulatory developments
- Practitioner-led perspectives from both sides of the courtroom
- Jurisdiction-specific breakout discussions covering the UK, Europe, Central Asia, the Caribbean, North America and Asia-Pacific
