Fraud and Business Crime
As a member of the Legal Services Commission's Specialist Fraud Panel, you can be confident of our substantial involvement in fraud cases; we have successfully defended cases investigated by the Serious Fraud Office, National Crime Squad, HM Customs & Excise and the Special Casework team at the Crown Prosecution Service.
The use of specialist government agencies, the introduction of new regulatory powers and a developing sophistication and use of technology has resulted in an increase in the detection and prosecution of business crime. Many of our cases now involve an international or multidisciplinary aspect, and our expertise and experience means that we are able to properly advise both lay and professional clients.
Our investment in information technology allows us to use the most advanced and sophisticated case management techniques; because we know how complex and large scale investigations work, we are able to process the information and identify the key issues for you in a clear and relevant way.
