Experts in Fraud Investigations

A raft of new legislation and a shift in enforcement agency policy in recent years has fundamentally altered the legal landscape in this area. New offences have been created to target fraud, anti-competitive conduct and corrupt activity both within and outside the UK jurisdiction.

 

Our fraud solicitors are regularly instructed by companies and individuals to respond to fraud investigations conducted by any one of a number of enforcement agencies including:

  • Serious Fraud Office
  • City of London Police Economic Crime Unit
  • Central Fraud Group Revenue & Customs Division
  • Fraud Prosecution Service
  • Financial Services Authority
  • Office of Fair Trading
  • Department for Business Innovation and Skills

What we can do to help if you find yourself part of a fraud investigation

Our fraud solicitors can provide expert advice in relation to all aspects of fraud investigations including:

  • compulsory questioning
  • search powers
  • restraint orders
  • interviews under caution, and
  • the trial process.

Our fraud solicitors are recognised in the independent legal directories as market leaders in the field of fraud and white collar crime. In the Legal 500 2010 directory, the team are ranked as a top tier firm and acknowledged as being ‘well known in this field’.
