The right to a name.
We recover domains in any zone.
A boutique that does domain disputes only. We recover squatted and hijacked names through UDRP (WIPO, FORUM, CAC) and the courts — and we defend good-faith registrants, including reverse domain name hijacking. Pricing is transparent: we show the forum's filing fee and our legal fee separately, before you start.
Check your domain
Enter a domain to see which forum hears its zone, the mechanism, and the typical timeline. Not a live WHOIS lookup — a fast routing hint.

We recover names — and defend those about to lose one
A domain dispute always has two sides. We run both: recovering a brand for the rightful owner, and defending a good-faith registrant against an unfounded complaint — including a finding of reverse domain name hijacking (RDNH).
Your brand was squatted or hijacked
A cybersquatter, typosquatting and phishing, a domain stolen via a hack, or a former contractor holding the company domain hostage.
- UDRP for gTLDs (.com/.ai/.io and more)
- Court action & injunctive relief (ACPA-style)
- Hijacked-domain recovery
- Pre-action negotiation and buy-back
You're a good-faith registrant
You own a dictionary domain or a portfolio and received a UDRP complaint or a demand letter. The complainant is abusing the process.
- UDRP response & proving legitimate interest
- Reverse domain name hijacking (RDNH) findings
- Defense against the "Plan B" trap
- Counsel for portfolio investors

Where and how a domain is recovered
For each zone we know the forum, the average timeline and how fees work. This is the map most firms don't publish: zone → forum → timeline → fee.
| Zone | Dispute forum | Mechanism | Avg. timeline | Forum fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .com / .net / .io / .ai | WIPO · FORUM | UDRP / URS | ~2 mo. | from $1,500 / URS from $375 |
| .eu | ADR.eu (CAC) | ADR | ~2 mo. | from €800 |
| .uk | Nominet (→ WIPO 07/2026) | DRS | ~2–3 mo. | mediation free / £750+VAT |
| .fr | Afnic | SYRELI / PARL | ~2 mo. | €250 / €1,500 |
| .ca | CIRA | CDRP | ~2–3 mo. | by panel |
The practice, broken down
We dissect fresh UDRP, RDNH and court decisions: what worked, what didn't, and what it means for your domain.

Who breaks down the practice
Domain disputes, in brief
Can I recover a domain held by a cybersquatter?
Yes — if you have rights in the name (a trademark, a trade name, or a recognized brand), the domain is identical or confusingly similar, the holder has no legitimate interest, and the registration and use are in bad faith. For gTLDs this is the UDRP procedure; for some ccTLDs it's a national dispute mechanism or a court.
What does it cost to recover a domain — and how is the price built?
The price has two parts: the dispute forum's filing fee (e.g., WIPO from $1,500 for a single domain) and our legal fee (UDRP turnkey is $2,500–4,000). We show both, separately, before you start.
I'm the respondent — a complaint was filed against me. What now?
We defend good-faith registrants: we prove rights and legitimate interests and good faith, and where the complainant abuses the process we seek a finding of reverse domain name hijacking (RDNH). Defense starts at $3,500 or runs hourly.
How long does a UDRP take?
About two months from filing to the panel's decision on average. WIPO offers an expedited track — a decision in roughly a month. URS is faster but only suspends the domain rather than transferring it.
We'll check your domain and give you a number
Send an enquiry — we reply within 2 hours in business hours, run an express assessment, and tell you whether there's a basis, which forum, how long, and what it costs (filing + legal).
