Why choose our Commercial Fraud lawyers?
We are specialists in uncovering and pursuing complex,
high-value frauds through internal and external investigations, within the UK
and across international borders. Our experts work with experienced private
investigators and forensic accountants to determine the nature of the fraud and
devise the most effective strategy to trace assets and return them to their
rightful owners.
We obtain worldwide freezing orders, search orders,
disclosure orders or other similar relief from the English Courts in support of
domestic and foreign proceedings. We are also fully equipped to handle multiple
linked civil, criminal, regulatory and disciplinary proceedings that typically
arise in fraud cases.
