Serious Fraud Investigations
Serious fraud allegations can involve agencies such as the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), National Crime Agency (NCA), HMRC or specialist police units. These investigations often concern complex financial transactions, false representations, bribery, corruption, tax fraud and large-scale money laundering.
Expert legal support for complex and high-value fraud cases
Serious fraud refers to large or sophisticated schemes that cause significant financial harm, involve multiple victims, or require specialist investigative resources.
As serious fraud is more complex, it’s investigated and prosecuted by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) rather than the police and CPS.
Our expert serious fraud solicitors have years of experience helping clients through SFO investigations. We can navigate the investigation process to help limit its impact and protect your best interests at every stage.
If you’re being investigated for serious fraud, or you’re worried about facing prosecution, contact our specialist serious fraud solicitors as soon as possible.
