Career

Gurpreet Thathy is a Director at Valkyrie and leads the firm’s cyber security, digital forensics and Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) capability. He supports law firms, corporate clients, family offices and private clients in business intelligence, investigations, litigation support and sensitive risk matters where technical evidence, digital activity, surveillance concerns or cyber exposure are central to the issue.

His work spans cyber investigations, device compromise checks, digital forensic review, open-source intelligence, technical surveillance detection, insider threat enquiries, asset-focused investigations and the profiling of individuals or entities of interest. He is regularly involved in matters where legal teams require a clear understanding of digital evidence, communications exposure, data compromise, eavesdropping risk or the technical context behind a dispute.

As lead for Valkyrie’s TSCM practice, Gurpreet oversees technical sweeps and counter-eavesdropping work across corporate, legal, government and private client environments. This includes boardrooms, legal meeting spaces, offices, private residences, vehicles, private aircraft and other sensitive locations where confidentiality is critical. His work often supports clients concerned about covert devices, hostile monitoring, insider risk, data leakage or the compromise of privileged discussions.

Gurpreet’s technical background allows him to bridge cyber, forensic, intelligence and physical security disciplines. He is experienced in producing clear findings for legal and strategic review, including evidential reporting, technical summaries, chronology development and recommendations linked to the issues under investigation.

He is frequently instructed in time-sensitive and confidential matters requiring discretion, practical judgement and the ability to translate complex technical findings into clear, usable advice for clients, advisers and legal teams.
