Fraud: Civil

In claims where fraud is alleged our specialist lawyers advise at every stage of the process, from initial investigations to tracing proceeds. We have extensive experience in obtaining and defending emergency injunctive relief (such as search and freezing orders) in the UK whilst the firm’s international capabilities mean our team can co-ordinate cross-border claims to protect a client’s position if required. A substantial proportion of our work involves entities and structures based in offshore and equivalent jurisdictions including BVI, Jersey, Switzerland, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

The breadth of firm wide expertise means we can provide an holistic service to deal with clients’ specific requirements including consideration of corporate governance and employment and reputational issues.

We tailor the legal remedies available to maximise the outcome of any claim whilst being mindful of its commerciality and value to our clients.

We represent a broad range of clients - individuals, companies, private banks and other organisations – and have helped them to seek legal redress or to defend themselves against claims. The team benefits from the nature of the firm’s wider client base (including over 80 family offices representing some of the wealthiest families in the UK and internationally and a number of HNW entrepreneurs). We also enjoy a steady flow of instructions from many corporates attracted by the team’s expertise and commercial offerings.
