About

Provided by Stephenson Harwood LLP

Our specialist team has unparalleled experience at both bringing and defending fraud claims. 

Our lawyers' in-depth knowledge means we can step in to take urgent action to protect our clients. 

Our team has extensive experience of bringing and defending:

• fraud claims
• multi-jurisdictional and domestic asset tracing
• freezing injunctions, in support of domestic and foreign proceedings
• other injunctions, including search and seizure order, receivership orders and gagging.
  
  

We have acted on many of the largest fraud claims in England and globally. We have significant expertise of fraud claims arising from emerging markets, including the CIS/CEE, Africa and India.

Our team includes specialists in financial services fraud, who have decades of experience of fraud claims for and against banks, funds, and senior employees/directors of companies in the financial services sector. We often manage fraud claims with concurrent parallel proceedings including civil, criminal, regulatory and arbitration proceedings (domestically and abroad).

Winning a case is not the final step in litigation. We regularly assist clients to trace assets and enforce judgments and arbitration awards, in England and abroad.

Our lawyers are proactive and imaginative, and our advice is always clear and commercial. We help clients reach the outcomes they want. Often, this is settlement and we can devise strategies to help achieve this. But where a case goes to trial, we can be trusted to achieve the best possible outcome.
