What sort of Fraud can we help with?

‘Fraud’ covers a wide range of complex offences, including:

Fraud by false representation: Purposely making a false statement for personal gain, or to damage someone else in some way. One example is releasing untrue information about a product or service to get customers to buy it, or not buy it.

Fraud by failing to reveal information: When you don’t reveal important information that you must disclose, by law. For example, when a company doesn’t record its expenses in order to hide how much money they’re making, and avoid tax.

Fraud by abuse of position: When a person is in a position to protect the interests of another person or company, but instead abuses their power. An example of this is would be a CEO using private company information for their own financial benefit.

Our lawyers can help if you’re under investigation for any of these types of fraud, or if you’ve been a victim of them yourself. We get to work right away guiding you the investigation from start to finish. We can give you practical advice on:

  • Debit or credit card fraud
  • Insurance fraud
  • Mortgage fraud
  • False accounting
  • Tax fraud and HMRC investigations
  • Insider trading
  • Money laundering
  • Confiscation proceedings
  • Serious fraud
  • Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPAs)
  • Self-reporting corporate fraud.
