Fraud and Business Crime
Our specialist lawyers advise on a range of fraud and business crime matters, including money laundering, bribery, tax-evasion, and market abuse. Our team combines strategic defence with practical support during criminal and regulatory investigations, ensuring swift action in critical moments such as dawn raids or cross-border disputes. Beyond crisis response, we help organisations strengthen resilience through tailored fraud and business crime prevention programmes and risk management advice.
Overview
Our expert team advises businesses and individuals on investigations and prosecutions involving fraud and business crime. We help you take the right steps early to achieve the best possible outcome as quickly as possible.
We manage high-profile, sensitive investigations with proactive strategies and have extensive experience in cross-border cases involving multiple jurisdictions. We are adept at defending parties subjected to investigation and prosecution by criminal authorities for fraud and related conspiracy offences. Our team respond effectively to dawn raids, represent individuals in interviews, assist to respond to documentary production orders, and regularly act for individuals and businesses at trial in the Magistrates’ and Crown Courts.
Fraud and financial crime prevention is essential, and we help organisations develop proportionate systems and controls. For example, advising on due diligence, employee screening, secret profiteering, competitive intelligence, and corporate fraud. In cases of fraud loss, we act swiftly to protect assets pending enforcement and recovery action, coordinating successful litigation, tracing and recovery strategies across multiple jurisdictions if required.
We deliver advice on the full range of fraud issues, including asset theft, brand protection, intellectual property infringement, deceit, breach of fiduciary duties, wrongful use of data, and theft of confidential information.
