Threat-intel-backed investigation and domain takeover proceedings

Decades of experience spanning internationally recognized law firms, in-house legal teams, and elite cyber threat-intelligence teams.

I bring that experience together to investigate and disrupt malicious infrastructure, use legal process to pursue attribution, and where appropriate, make criminal referrals aimed at stopping threat actors from targeting or retargeting your organization.

Let’s explore together what makes practical sense for your organization.

What is the difference between the UDRP and the URS?

The Uniform Rapid Suspension System (URS) is a separate rights-protection mechanism intended for clear-cut cases. It is generally faster and lower-cost than a UDRP, but its principal remedy is temporary suspension of the domain rather than transfer to the complainant.

The URS applies a higher clear-and-convincing evidentiary standard, while the UDRP generally applies the balance-of-probabilities standard used in UDRP proceedings. That difference matters when the record is disputed or factually complex.

The choice therefore turns on the desired remedy, strength and complexity of the evidence, the applicable domain, and the governing procedural rules—not simply on filing speed or cost.
