Whether you are a business or an individual and have been defrauded or are accused of fraud we have highly respected and experienced lawyers on your side who look at every angle and support you at every stage in the case.

Serious fraud may involve either criminal and civil fraud claims but can often overlap and run in parallel. The civil aspect is called commercial fraud litigation. Much of this work emanates from contracts that have gone wrong between companies or alleged misconduct by senior people within companies.

The criminal aspect is called “white collar crime” because it may involve business people being prosecuted and company and corporate issues, and can range from allegations of insider trading, forgery, theft of intellectual property, money laundering, intra community carousel fraud, other HMRC investigations and a host of other transactions that may fall foul of the law and regulations.

Our team have enormous experience in complex civil and criminal fraud cases, including tracing of assets, injunctions, freezing orders and insolvency aspects. The law can be draconian and we are experienced in Proceeds of Crime Act and confiscation of assets cases also.
