Disclosure and discovery of anonymous internet users

Unravelling the identity of anonymous internet users

Without a shadow of a doubt, disclosure and discovery in defamation and reputation attack cases are among the greatest strengths of our law firm. We combine a variety of discovery methods, including advanced OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), where our specialist open-source investigation team excels at tracing and unravelling the identities of internet users who would otherwise prefer to remain anonymous.

Our team of investigators utilises specialist tools and open-source resources to identify individuals based on a variety of factors such as images, usernames, locations, connections with related individuals, and social media activity. This allows us to pinpoint the identities of those attempting to hide behind the veil of online anonymity. In addition to our investigative prowess, we are also renowned for obtaining disclosure orders and subpoenas in the UK, the US, and other parts of the world. We have developed a robust network of attorneys with whom we collaborate to deliver local subpoenas in a cost-effective manner. 

This network consists of law firms like ours, all specialising in internet law, with many of whom we have worked together for nearly two decades. These partnerships are built on strong personal relationships, ensuring seamless and efficient collaboration. The first step in any defamation case is often to identify the defamer, and we have a proven track record of success in achieving this, no matter where in the world they may be. Our expertise in disclosure and discovery makes us the go-to firm for clients facing defamation and reputation attacks, providing them with the critical information needed to pursue justice.
