Gotham & Oz is a strategic defense organization providing institutional-grade analytical intelligence and crisis response capabilities to activist organizations, nonprofits, and human rights defenders. When coordinated attacks, defamation campaigns, or information warfare threaten your mission, we provide the forensic analysis, evidence architecture, and strategic support your legal teams require to defend truth and protect your work.
To level the playing field for organizations and individuals advancing justice by providing institutional-grade intelligence, forensic analysis, and crisis response capabilities previously available only to corporations and governments.
We deploy advanced analytical frameworks combining journalism forensics, digital intelligence, legal evidence architecture, and crisis communications. All delivered with absolute confidentiality and zero conflicts of interest.
Gotham & Oz began as a purely commercial strategic advisory firm, evolved to a hybrid commercial and pro bono model, and has now transformed into a 100% pro bono organization operating exclusively through a grant-based selection process.
Today, we serve activist organizations, nonprofits, and senior executives within the nonprofit sector who are being slandered and defamed by those they are exposing. Our clients are selected through a rigorous application and grant process architecture fully managed by the Embassy Row Project and 100% funded by technologist and philanthropist James Scott.
This evolution reflects our commitment to mission over revenue—ensuring that elite strategic defense capabilities are available exclusively to those advancing justice, regardless of their ability to pay.
