Get effective results with our civil fraud lawyers
Fraud can cause enormous harm to individuals and businesses both financially and reputationally and its incidence only continues to increase.
Fraud cases are often factually and legally complex and our team of highly regarded and knowledgeable civil fraud lawyers are able to quickly develop and implement the right legal strategy to trace, preserve and recover assets both in the UK and globally.
Fraud cases often involve an international element, and we work closely with a strong network of lawyers and investigators across multiple jurisdictions. Our clients include multinational businesses and organisations, small and medium sized corporate entities and individuals.
In addition to advising on claims, we are regularly instructed to obtain urgent interim relief for our clients through freezing orders, search orders and Norwich Pharmacal Orders to help obtain and preserve evidence and assets.
We are equally comfortable in defending civil fraud proceedings and are on hand to mitigate the damaging implications allegations of fraud may have.

Fraude et recouvrement d’actifs
Notre équipe est composée de spécialistes dans le contentieux lié à la fraude civile et au recouvrement d’actifs détournés. Nous représentons les particuliers ainsi que les sociétés victimes de fraudes (escroquerie, abus de confiance, abus de biens sociaux, fraude aux paiements, etc.).
Le recouvrement d’actifs nécessite souvent l’intervention dans diverses juridictions, et nous travaillons étroitement avec notre réseau d’avocats étrangers et d’enquêteurs.
Nous représentons également des personnes (souvent dirigeants et/ou actionnaires, et cadres supérieurs) et des sociétés dans des contentieux complexes concernant des allégations de fraude. Concernant, par exemple, des accusations de manquement de leurs obligations envers la société entrainant un préjudice, même sans la partie défenderesse ayant tiré profit.
