Fraud

Get in touch

Fraud is big business. It costs the UK economy over £100 billion a year.

It creates holes in your finances. It sows distrust among your colleagues and partners. And it damages your reputation.

Ultimately, it can put your company out of business if you don’t deal with it in the right way. When fraud happens, you may need to deal with it very quickly. Time is often of the essence if you want to maximise your chances of protecting your position and ensuring that any damage is undone.

A specialist fraud lawyer is a must. That’s where we come in.

A unique insight into business’ fraud risk and preparedness

We surveyed 1,000 senior managers across the UK giving a snapshot of senior managers’ views and business’ preparedness to fight fraud as the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act progressed through Parliament.

Fraud white collar crime

It costs the UK economy an estimated £100+ billion per year. And whilst it can take many forms, fraud almost always involves attempts to misappropriate assets or dishonestly gain a financial advantage.

A business or person faced with the occurrence of fraud or serious misconduct must deal with any number of commercial, legal and reputational issues. Our multi disciplinary team of fraud, white collar crime and regulatory lawyers provides a comprehensive and responsive service to help you navigate the way forward.

Our services

We know there are different stages where you might need support from a fraud lawyer and come to us for help. We break those stages down into Prevent, Respond and Cure. Across all of these stages, if we can keep you out of the spotlight by avoiding formal claims or prosecutions, we will.

Prevent

At the Prevent stage we work with you to make sure your business is as protected as it can be. We spot the gaps in your policies and systems and help you plug them before they become a problem.

Respond

We Respond to live fraud situations by focusing on the need to stop or limit any damage being suffered by your business, using our knowledge of the relevant financial and legal systems to your advantage.

Cure

Finally when it comes to Cure, our goal is to restore your business to its rightful position, whether through the courts or through robust negotiation with the perpetrators.
