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 a domain name dispute?

A domain name dispute is a conflict over the registration or use of a domain name. Some disputes involve alleged cybersquatting—using a domain name that targets another party’s trademark—while others may involve broader contractual, ownership, infringement, fraud, or business issues.

The UDRP is one administrative procedure for a defined category of trademark-based disputes. It is designed to address abusive domain-name registration and use, and its remedies are transfer or cancellation rather than damages. Other policies may apply to particular country-code domains or different kinds of disputes.

Technical evidence can matter when the disputed domain is part of a larger impersonation or malicious-infrastructure pattern. In a 2015 dispute brought by World Outdoor Fitness SA (WIPO D2015-0330), the panel considered copied website content and false representations in customer emails and ordered transfer.
