FRAUD & CORPORATE CRIME
We are criminal law specialists and should you be charged with corporate crime, serious fraud, white collar or business crime then our criminal specialist solicitors are best placed to defend you. Why go to a dentist if you need heart surgery? The same principle applies to corporate crime.
You will almost certainly have dealt with corporate lawyers through your business dealings who are very good at dealing with your business ventures but that does not necessarily make them specialists in criminal law and corporate crime.
Our team has a wealth of experience in defending complex and large scale investigations of serious business and financial crime.
These will normally include investigations by the Serious Organised Crime Agency, HM Revenue and Customs, Serious Fraud Office, Financial Services Authority, as well as the Police and other bodies.
Our Approach
We will use the most advanced and sophisticated techniques to identify the key issues for you in a clear and relevant way as well as to highlight the weaknesses and inconsistencies in the Crown’s case.
We will put together a specialist team tailor made to the requirements of your case, which can include forensic accountants, IT specialists, and Tax specialists. In the most serious cases this may include the country’s leading QC’s and we guarantee you access to the most up-to-date and relevant expertise.
Highly Experienced in Criminal and Corporate Law
We have been involved in some of the highest profile cases across the UK in recent years. We have the firepower to deliver and regularly outpace rivals in the criminal field and our leading criminal defence lawyers possess a unique reputation for individual treatment of your case which can be lost in bigger firms. Described by the Scotland on Sunday Newspaper as ‘taking on the big guns of the legal system.’
We act for both corporate clients as well as individuals facing regulatory investigations for allegations of corruption, fraud, tax evasion, insider dealing, money laundering as well as offences under the Companies Act.
