Fraud.

We specialise in fraud trials which are often high profile cases and attract national press. Our criminal department has a high success rate. We are on the VHCC panel and before that we were members of the Specialist Fraud Panel, until it was replaced by the VHCC panel. This only allowed a limited number of firms to undertake fraud trials and was reserved to firms who had achieved high standards and able to conduct such matters with a professionalism and a high degree of specialist knowledge in fraud.

Whatever the problem, we can help.

Experts in Different Types of Fraud

If it is pre arrest and HMRC are withholding your VAT, we can challenge on your behalf through the VAT Tribunal the refusal to repay your input tax. We work closely with experienced counsel in these matters to ensure that your interests are represented not only at a tribunal but also should there be any further proceedings. It is important to have an overall knowledge and experience of where matters could lead to and care that has to be taken when making representations to HMRC. We have expertise in dealing with the following types of frauds:

✓ Ponzi Scheme   ✓ Pyramid Fraud   ✓ Mortgage fraud   ✓ Insurance fraud

✓ Boiler room fraud   ✓ Confidence fraud   ✓ Advance fee fraud

Often the investigations in such matters are lengthy. It is important you get the correct advice early.
